What does this mean?

[RomeoOhRomeo]

I just wanted to make sure that this is running correctly. It's been looking like this since last night (except the "Waiting for core" keeps going up. Does this look right?

The finished is understandable as it takes some time to actually complete a unit, but I've never seen the waiting for line be so large. Right click on the folding icon in your system tray and look for the log option. Open that up for a clearer picture of what's actually going on (post a snippet of it here if need be).

Here is the log:

Now the "Waiting for core" number is up to 15861 :confused:

The log also appears exactly the same as before.

[Taeric]

It downloaded the core and WU successfully, which is good. It doesn't appear to actually be cranking through it, which is bad. You can check your task manager processes tab to see if it is indeed doing anything. If there's not a fah process taking up considerable CPU time, then it's not progressing. Also check to make sure there's not something else hogging the CPU (for example, I have some random Windows file that eats up tons of CPU time on my laptop...can't figure out how to kill the stupid thing) as the folding client is set to use CPU time AFTER other tasks take their share.

Romeo, did the problem get fixed? If not, post back and we will try to get it working.
