Folding Forum

I got FAH running for a couple of months then it stopped. So, I removed the app using the Windows Add/Remove but kept the "data". Then I downloaded the client, ran the install, and it appeared to install and begin running correctly. However....

FAHControl Advanced Control is grayed out with an alternating display from:

Client: local Connecting Inactive
to
Client: local Updating Inactive

Folding@home Web Control has a popup stating:

Folding@home Disconnected
The Folding@home software on your computer has most likely stopped.

Please restart it, then reload this page.

I'm unable to locate a log file - the Windows instructions don't work for me....

I suspect there's something really simple, like an IP address or something?

You might try to do what the Web Control is saying. You can quit FAH in the taskbar:



Then restart it by double-clicking the FAH icon that should be on your desktop.

If that doesn't work, I would try to uninstall it incl data and reinstall. Are you sure that there is no %AppData%\FAHClient folder?

Thank you. This did the trick!

I would try to uninstall it incl data and reinstall.

The critical difference was "uninstall including data".

Doh!

Probably some setting in the old configuration that was incorrect, or you ran into a bug in the change from an older version of the client to the current one. Removing the data also removes the old settings files.
