Hi folks, had a power glitch here and couldn't for some reason get F@H connected. Reinstalled and all it's doing is attempting to get work packet for a while now. If I upgrade to the systray beta version can I copy the work folder I backed up today from 5.03 to 6.10 beta systray and let it pick back up from there? WCG restarted without a hitch and picked up where it left off, so no problems there. Just with F@H.

Thanks,
Bobby

you should be good to go if you copy the work folder and the queue.dat file into the new directory, I'm not sure if the config file is compatible between the 5.x and 6.x clients, so just to be safe its probably better to just manually re-enter your info

Thanks again
