    I followed this guide LINKY and set-up VMware, obviously substituting my username and teamnumber.

    But when I check on FahMon, it says ETA and PPD is 0.


    Have I done something wrong?

    I can't believe how much difference this VMware is making...
    I've gone from 1100(ish)ppd to 1500. Not a bad for increase for not really doing much! :thumb:

    I'd seriously recommend anyone still using the SMP client to set-up VMware instead!


    EDIT: 1650ppd and rising.

    I know this is small fry for most of you but for me, I'm pretty chuffed my e6300 is churning out some respectable points at last.

    from which cpu?


    I think something has gone wrong, a few times today I have had a few errors in the vm console and have had to reset, where it continued normally. But this time its like the work unit has disappeared. FahMon has gone from 73% to showing 0%

    Whats happening?

    EDIT: Advanced methods is on. Possibly this has something to do with it? Anyway I think the work unit is lost, along with 1800 odd points. I've been folding it since last night, what a complete waste of time...

    i HATE folding at the moment.
