It broke... I stopped it and installed rainmeter, turned it back on and now this.
been sitting for 30 minutes now. D:
I got rid of rainmeter, it was laggy and wasn't that great. Just shiny.One idea you could try, is to use VMs for your F@H needs. Rather than messing around with the client, while attempting to fix your Rainmeter settings and whatnot...you could try VirtualBox.
What I've done with some of my workstations, for BOINC:
1. Install VirtualBox
2. Build and configure an *nix client VM (usually Ubuntu Server - any version - 64 bit)
3. Install the F@H software + dependancies
4. Plug in your account/team information
5a. (Optionally) grab a snapshot of the VM in this state, so if something FUBARs, you can just go back to the previous state
5b. Initiate a download of some WUs and let the crunching begin.
Key benefit of virtuals, you can configure how many cores/threads you allocate, so you could "self-throttle" your F@H work, without sacrificing performance of your host machine. Also you could continue to run Rainmeter, and not futz around with the settings.
