I got home from work and it seemed like it had just finished my first protein, but it could not connect to the server. Finally I got my earthlink to work, and it started a new project (I think). It also says I have 422 points (is this good)? But it took only 17 hours to do my first protein, and now after half an hour I am still stuck at 0%. Do I just have a very big protein this time, or what?

That is pretty slow. If you click on the I at the bottom of the agent box, it will shift to the Application view showing a representation of the current protein being folded. The Current Progress indicator will show how much progress has been made with 1 decimal place. My guess -- if it is that slow it will probably not converge. Sometimes a protein just refuses to fold up with the values your Work Unit is testing. When the program finally decides there is no use continuing, it will suddenly stop folding and send this information back to the server. In this case you will suddenly find yourself with additional points awarded for the work done on that Work Unit and with a new Work Unit crunching away.

OK, now this is starting to worry me. It is over eight hours and it is still stuck at 0%. What do I do? Help!

Sometimes it takes a good while for the grid to decide that the protein isn't going to fold, aborts and gets another protein. You should get a score credit for the work whether the protein completes or not. |

If on the view Lawrence described it shows 0.0 then you have not taken the first checkpoint. The agent check points each time it updates the percentage. If it reads 0.0, I would stop the program using the task manager and then restart it. This should cause the agent to get a new work unit if that one stalled. It also should give you credit for your CPU time. If that does not work, I would email tech support and they should be able to tell you how to proceed. Hope this helps <dataman>
