They say the client supports Windows Vista, but the Setup program closes immediately on my machine.

That's odd. Have you tried running it as administrator? Or in compatibility mode?

That's what it's all about... try reading the page!

I only leave it running when I'm at work or AFK.

I've been running this for at least a year now. Me and my group of friends started team pwnerz, id 88402. We're not doin too bad considering that there aren't many of us there. I may set one of my machines to fold for this group. I have it on my PS3, laptop, and desktop. The laptop and desktop are both running it in service mode on both cores.
They're updating right now so I can't access the site, I'll try again later.

And techguy:
My desktop is running vista business x64 and it works fine. I'm using the console only one, not the one with the gui.

I'll have to try the console version. I know it runs a bit faster, but I like to see pretty colors.

Oh wow...TSG even has a Folding@Home group! I might join once my computer starts getting out of date.... In about 2 years

And what's the difference between Rosetta@Hame and F@H?
