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

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.

thanks. i might try that later. for now i think i'll just try rosetta
