Fold Error

[Arinoth]

When i turned got to my computer after letting it run for 16 hours folding, i found 3 clients with the following error below. I restarted them (vmware) and didn't get them, but then the 4th client ran into it. I am going to restart (vmware) tonight, though how do i prevent this from happening when i'm away again:

I believe this is because there is not enough memory assigned to the client (by a setting in the VMWare diskless folding app). It usually is set to '512', but I bumped this up to 1152 MB to make this 1 1/8 GB of RAM. Never saw the issue again.

Open up the .vmx, its in the install folder, with Word and look for:

memsize = "512"


Change the number to 1152 and you should be good.

vmware player down arrow / troubleshoot / increase ram to 1154Mb.

edit: ninja'ed

Oh, you can actually edit that setting in VMWare?

Listen to his reply, its easier on you.

[Arinoth]

Alright, going to do that, but i thought thats what i was doing when i set it up using the config page in the increase your PPD with vmware tutorial

[3.0charlie]

Config via IE is for the client - the setting I told you to change is for the player.

2 different things.

That is done, hopefully no folding issues for the 16 hours my computer will be doing it when i go to work tonight. Wonder how long it'll take me to get to 1 million at this pace

Hehe... folding is like babysitting... btw, the Stanford servers GPU-wise crashed, all 5 GPUs of mine are idling.

[Arinoth]

I wouldn't know at the moment, when i'm using the comp typically turn off most my folding for gaming and such

[somecanadianguy]

GPU client is not working for me either...
Does this type of thing happen much?

Oh, and I was getting the same error as you were, Arinoth.
Increasing VMware ram setting to 1152 seems to have fixed it.
I had assumed, same as you that the IP reconfig step set that properly.
