Is it normal for the tinkers to restart from scratch (frame 1) after restarting the computer?

I can restart the client no problem., but they seem to not like it.

Windows XP SP2, console version 5.03
 
I've had that problem recently... but with the new beta client (5.04)

Does it still happen if you close the client before you shut down?


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
I've not noticed it on any of my boxen, as for some reason I haven't gotten any tinkers lately... but is there anything in the fahlog.txt file about whether the unit early ended and a new one was downloaded, and what amount of time are you using between checkpoints? The Default is 15 minutes I believe.

That's not the probem. It was up to frame 50 last night until the power had a hissy fit.
 
I've noticed this behavior with any WU. (it's particularly anoying when you are 90% done with a 600 point gromacs)

yes stanford uses savepoints, but if you restart the machine with the reset button and don't shutdown gracefully to restart, sometimes the WU will fail a "consistancy check" on the restart. If that happens you will start over from the first frame. This is not the same as being unstable and finishing early.


The [H]orde needs You!

Even when I go Start> Shutdown it does it.

When the client restarts, it acts like nothing happened.
 
Somebody posted a quicky batch file that will back up about 10 instances, you might want to run that if you are having problems.
