ok i'm having problems again on my mac pro. i bought a new hard drive (1 TB), and so i cloned my old startup drive to the new one, took out the old one and put in the new one.

now folding doesn't work right. it will work on a unit, then it seems to download a new unit every few hours or so. so it never completes a unit.

any ideas?

I have the same problem every time I upgrade my drive and clone. I have to delete the work file and the folding app and all the support/pref files. Reinstall and everything works fine.

thanks. i just tried reinstalling folding@home. not sure if it did anything or not. if it doesn't work, i'll delete everything and install again
 
well after deleting folding@home, then reinstalling, it's still doing the same thing. not quite sure what else to do

well i might be turning back to SETI, and leave my PS3 for folding. f@h on my mac pro has only given me problems, honestly

Go to the library and then do a search for 'fah' delete all the results related to folding and then do a search for folding and do likewise. Can't guarantee it will work but it's worth a try. You might also need to do a permissions repair.
