Then I download the console version.....

Here is a screenshot of me setting up FAH as a service.....this is required if you want to run 2 instances easily!
Notice the command @ the top -> "FAH504-Console.exe -config"
(you only need to type the first part, then press TAB ;) )



Notice...Question number 3 is to run it as a service?
Just choose yes!
You also need to choose yes, when asked for advanced options....
When asked for a machine ID....choose 2 --> It's not required to do this anymore with latest versions of FAH, but better to be safe...we don't want your precious points going to someone else now do we ;)

Then after reboot, 1 instance is running in the backround....


Ohh forgot to mention....I use the BETA console version

I hope this clears some things up.....
Even running it as a service with 1 cpu core is cool as you never have to worry about it!

Folding at Home is a distributed client program, similar to SETI, in that it uses your free CPU cycles to help understand how proteins are assembled, or folded. The project is put on by Stanford University whose goal is to find out how proteins assemble themselves and why they sometime misfold. This misfolding is related to many serious diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

By donating your spare CPU cycles to the Folding team you are pitching in to help find out how this process works and eventually to find a cure. Not only will you be doing a good deed for humanity but you will enjoy participating in our team and promoting the healthy competition among team members to produce the most work units of our group.
