I was told that people went on to other things after they are finished one?

There are several different "cores", or software packages that actually compute the folding. GROMACS is one of the common current cores, I've seen that, TINKER, and DGROMACS on my systems. Doesn't really matter what you have. I currently have my laptop running at 45%, which it does almost 24/7 without any issues.
As for the gaming, there is a known problem with OpenGL programs, so just turn folding off if you're playing certain games. Others can peacefully coexist with folding.

Fifty was doing fine for a long time but seems to have overheating issues with his laptop when running 100%/24/7. I think if he turned the CPU usage percentage down as others have suggested that would solve his heat problem and he could be with us again. A WU donated every now and then is still better than none at all.
He's a funny guy (I know, looks aren't everything), but in the end it's up to him if he's willing to give it another try.

The core is the calculation model that is used - there are about half a dozen different ones. Each one gets downloaded as you need it. Several projects use each core, and each project is looking at how a different protein folds.
if you want the details
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html tells you which projects use which core (and how many points the projects are worth)
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects Tells you what the projects are trying to do. The key thing to get is the project number. The work unit name starts with p and then a 4 digit number. You can then look it up to find out what your computer is actually doing.

Call Of Duty 2 doesn't handle the folding thing well, it just keeps on minimizing, so I shut folder off when I play COD.

The Sims bounces back and forth aswell.. simple enough to close F@H thankfully.

Whenever I play a game that uses full screen I turn it off.

Abaddon, since you started them, any chance you could find the old threads and link them here? 
Sorry, Guys. I've dropped off the pace over the last two days. My Mac has been given the same unit to do three times. It's worth 1440 points, but the first two times it failed at 79% after spending 20 hours folding, and returned no partial results. So that's 40 hours at 70 points per hour we've lost.
I'm hoping that this run will be successful, as it has reached over 90% now.
Ah, the joys of beta software!

Is that just a clash with the protein display, which is probably also using OpenGL? If so, can't you just disable the protein display - I believe it's just there to look pretty, and is not required in order to fold.

I never keep my display open, only time I do it is to see the progress.
Can anyone else confirm the OpenGL comment then?
