not sure what all of this means, but it all looks good to me until it says i didnt do squat... or it couldnt find a core, but then it made itself a new one, so that seemed ok... suggestions/need more info?
 
This is just the start up sequence when you load up folding for the first time. You should be good to go, and will be fine when you start seeing it process frames and move on to 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. Once it gets to 100%, it will then attempt to upload the processed data back to Stanford, and will likely download more stuff to process. You might even get a different core from what you're currently running.

If it just stalls and you don't see anything change (especially after 15 minutes or so), there could be other issues, but I think you'll be finie for now.

What kind of machine are you running on? This looks to be a uni client. I'd like to confirm that was your intent.
 
FahCore_78 is for the stanard uni-core client.

Dependent on the speed of your computer and exactly which protien you have downloaded then it could take anything from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks before you finish it.
p4460 is worth 225 points and should run at ~50 PpHpGhz, so a 2 Ghz box should do it in just over a couple of hours.
One way to check if its working is to look at your CPU load.
If its running then you should have 100% load on a single cored CPU, 50% load on a dual core CPU or 25% load on a quad core CPU.

Luck ........... :D
