Update ! I just came home and the Toshiba got a job.

Status update: The Toshiba laptop with 6 Gb ram and I7 2630QM 2GHz isn't getting work. (dates from 2014) The Sony laptop with 6 Gb ram and AMD E-450 APU isn't getting work. (dates from 2009) The desktop (was custom built by a friend years ago - 2010 ?) with I7-860 2.6GHz and 16 Gb ram is getting occ...

I found this: fah-installer_7.6.21_x86.exe . It's described as being for (Windows 7+ 32/64-bit). Is there a chance that if I uninstall the current FAH installation on my Win 7 rigs and install this I could once again be producing work units? I found the installer here: https://foldingathome.org/v7-c...

Maybe someone could develop something - there are so many W7 rigs that would be able to use it and help FAH production - maybe some oldies lover can be persuaded...?

It's so sad that there's nothing I can download that would let these oldies keep on working. Please, if you hear of anything I can do in terms of a download modification, I'm ready to try.

And the processor in my hardware configuration (my old W7 desktop which also is no longer getting work assignments)), is stronger than both the I7-2630 QM and AMD E-450 APU ?

In reference to my 2 old W7 laptops that aren't getting work assignments, which of the 2 processors listed below is more powerful ? LOL I'm going to give the unit with the weaker processor to someone who needs a computer and can't afford to buy one. AMD E-450 APU Intel core I7-2630QM 2GHz I know thi...

My W7 computers are not getting work assignments; this has been going on for a few days. Once in a long while one of them will get some little job. My W10 systems are having no such issue. It's true my W7 rigs are old ( a 2014 Toshiba laptop, a desktop with a core I7 860 ) but if they're now so obso...

When I look at Status in Advanced Control, 4 computers show 3 or 2 CPU. The one still working on a project (18806) shows 4 CPU. Thank you for getting back to me - the 4 are all at least 10 years old. The one still working is an Asus VivoBook about a year old. Very relieved - I have nothing in any of...

Since the start of the CrowdStrike mess all 5 of my computers finished the jobs they were on but can't download new jobs. Please advise

Thanks for looking.

It's been years since I've posted to the forum --have been running FAH since 2006. This morning a friend stopped by, saw FAH running on all 5 of my computer screens and asked me a ? that I haven't been able to find an answer to. Are any FAH projects involved/working on protein folding research that ...

Hi Bruce, I'm the only user of the computer --it's just Julie and I, and Julie doesn't do computer ( and never has or will ). FAH continues to run perfectly. I only have a slot for the i7 -860 --my vid card is a GTS 250 and apparently not strong enough to run the newer FAH stuff --it seems like that...

I don't know what's going on --I rebooted just now and FAH continues to run just fine

It isnow 1:45 PM Thur. and FAH has been running just fine since my last post -- with all my security software enabled, no Malwarebytes exclusions yet created and the VPN up, FAH has successfully completed at least 1 WU and is working on another (due to complete approx. 4:30 ) . I will report back up...
