Need Help With Configuring F@H

I've been folding almost nonstop for nearly a week now and still have not completed one single WU. Currently I'm showing 9600/20000. I've shut down nearly everything running in the background and I feel as though I'm literally stuck in the mud. My cpu is set at 85% plus I have cable internet that has been pretty reliable. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Razorbacx

what are your system specifications?
What WU (project #) are you currently folding?
What F@H version are you running? (Console/GUI)

These projects are inspired by data collected in projects 2106 and 2107. They treat the electrostatics interactions in a more precise way.
Points and deadlines:
p2124 points 396, 110 days
p2125 points 392, 109 days
a ~400pt WU sould only take ~2-6 days on your rig, depending on how long you leave the PC powered on and folding.
It does seem a little slow in you case for this to be running for a whole week.....and only getting 9600 out of 20000 completed.......that's less than half done

2124 is the same one that one of my rigs is working on (P4 3.2Ghz), just stared on that one probably 45 min ago.

Off hand I really cannot think of any. I'd like to figure out the answer to that one myself

Turn off your screensaver and close any applications (and programs running in the taskbar) that you're not using at the moment. That should help you out a little...
