Gutted

***Neo_VR*** · 21-04-2007, 15:45

Having just realised about my mini-folding farm, i expect my production to start to tail-off over the next month or so, as my "replacement" at my old work finds all the servers i had f@h installed on..
so the only reliable machine i have now is my athlon x2

Tom_vRS · 21-04-2007, 17:16

Awww, poor Colin.

Lummox · 21-04-2007, 17:22

Colin who?

Oh yeah that guy that used to talk to me on MSN.

cheezemonkhai · 22-04-2007, 00:27

Are you having MSN problems then ross?

**mannyo** · 01-05-2007, 09:48

You should have done what I have. The folding service is renamed, and in the services control panel looks like any other key windows process.

***ncarring*** · 10-05-2007, 10:21

What did you call it, Manny?

bpm · 10-05-2007, 23:45

Unfortunate Colin. Hopefully you can get back on your feet some day

Thats a good idea Manny... Tell those of us how you did it

PussCat · 11-05-2007, 00:06

Mine's gonna tail off now too..... just got an electric bill and it was mega, so something's gotta give... and I think it's gotta be folding! WIll be down from 2 full time and 2 part time folders to 1 full time and 1 part time soon.... hey ho!

Wardy · 11-05-2007, 00:55

I'm still chugging along

Should have something half-decent running shortly too, as I bring a home server back to life....

Again, if I could work out a way of getting FAH data past the works firewall/proxy, I could contribute a lot more

You need to edit the registry, just search for the service name and rename each occurance. Make it something that ties in with the server, eg. HP Management Agent. Dont change the name of the container only change the display name.

HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\fah@xxxxxxx xx\displayname

ZootyRS · 14-05-2007, 10:28

"Hello, HP support? Your management agent keeps spinning on my server."

"Yes, I've rebooted, but it still keeps taking 100% CPU"

Wardy · 14-05-2007, 13:52

Well, perhaps, after a 20 minute call to India, with them telling you that serial number and Care Pack relates to an iPaq, or something similar.

20 minutes...

You must be a premium customer

Wardy · 14-05-2007, 21:45

Yep!

Can usually dust off the call in about 13 mins if it's a fairly straightforward desktop failure. Not that I count down the minutes till I get off the phone or anything

Not bad you might say, but it was half that when you used to always get through to the Irish support centre!

Sounds like a good reason for sticking with Dell then
