Default Re: how to fold with CPU properly?

eh well i think this will be fine for now. Getting ready to go over to windows 7 in a few days so i don't feel like installing to much stuff.

how do i pause/resume this thing easily? the other one i can right click and pause but this one is just cmd prompt form...from what i've read, pausing n unpausing is bad for it..but i like to play games n don't want them lagging to much because of it

You can't pause it.. what you do is setup a shortcut to the fah.exe with all you flags in it, and just shut it down with ctrl-c and use the s/c to restart.

thanks for all the help

btw, when it shut down...it said shutting down " core 0 core 1 core 2" is that normal?

Yha, i believe it is... I rarely shut my smp down, but it has an exe each core, it seems fine.
