F@H Monitoring Alternatives?

hey all... I have been using FAHMon for a while now, and have become fed up with the problems it has. During the Folding War when I was using it all the time, it would crash 10-12 times per night. Since then, I have reinstalled windows on that machine, and obviously reinstalled the FAHMon program and it is still giving me fits in that one of the clients WILL not change status from *Hung*. It shows the log in the log window, and the other 2 clients that are installed display correctly, but it's driving me crazy.

Anyway... are there any alternative programs that I might give a try to monitor my "real time" ppd and such? Thanks.

I don't know of any. The program does that to me too. Even my SMP client keeps crashing. I am going to just use the GPU2 client for awhile. Temps in my neck of the woods are going to be over 100F for the week anyway. I think there are way to many bugs in the SMP client for me anyway. I/we should not have to babysit the program. F@H could make setup a lot easier too.

thanks. I had the list bookmarked, but it didn't make it through the round of reformats.

I have been using MPICHI from the start. I have uninstalled the program 6-8 times already. I just did it again. I don't know why. :lol: We should call the MPICHI SMP client, crash and burn. :lol: It's running for now, I hope it doesn't crash and burn again. But, I know it will. :lol:

I knew about that but I wanted to keep up with the new format. I guess it helps them fiqure out all the bugs in beta. So all the pain I'm feeling with this new SMP client I hope it makes someone elses life a little better when they try to download the new client. It really is buggy though. I think the old SMP client ends in Dec.
