How to join our team with a computer running Windows ?
- Apply for a passkey at http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py. You will need to pick a doner name and enter an email address. Your passkey will be sent to your email address. Do not discard your passkey email.
- Download the current client from: https://folding.stanford.edu/start-folding/
- Install the client using all of the default options
- When the installer is finished, let it start the client. You will see a Windows firewall pop-up about fahclient.exe. Click "Allow access".
- This will open your default web browser pointing to: http://folding.stanford.edu/client/. Click the Identity tab on the page that loads. On the Identity page, enter the donor name and passkey you got from step 1 and team 33. Don't forget to click Save when you are finished.
- Click the Home tab to return to your home page. Move the intensity slider from Medium to Full. This will force the client to start if it hasn't yet. A definition of the settings can be found below.
- Off: Folding is disabled
- Idle light: Folding will proceed at a reduced speed only when your computer becomes idle.
- Idle: Similar to Idle Light, but tries to get the maximum productivity from your computer only when you are away.
- Light: Folding proceeds at a reduced speed at all times, but productivity and system utilization increases when you are away.
- Medium: Much more productive than Light. This setting is recommended for most users.
- Full: Contribute as much as possible. This setting may cause some machines to get hot or the fan to run very hard. If this is a problem simply move this slider to a lower setting.
- For more control about the folding client you can use the advanced settings via FAHControl
- You are now folding for Team [H]ardOCP!
