I know some of you have issues with the latest full version that came out. Nails was having windows close and all sorts of weird stuff going on. If you are having issues you might want to take a look at this beta version. Has some better OpenGL codes to prevent crashing.

Grab it here: http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/

This version has several fixes over 5.02:

1. Screen saver activation fix
2. White text instead of blue (to be user config'd)
3. Revised OpenGL code to handle weird WUs (eg p12XX) better (i.e. not crash)
4. Better WU time/frame estimation.
5. Fixes a redraw problem found when the main title is turned off

This preview release will not expire. These files are executables, not installers. To run, you should move them to the directory in which FAH was installed and edit any shortcuts necessary (or rename the new executable).
