As many mentioned, I'd also reccomend using the Advanced Control, you can open it by going to your hidden incons (in taskbar, by the network symbol usually) then finding the folding client logo in the menu that opens, right click and advanced control, or search for it in the Start Menu as others suggested. There are plenty of details you won't need in there, granted, so the GUI is a bit more crowded, but it gives you more control. I too had this issue you described, but only on my laptop, which is quite odd, but at least it solved itself.

Hello there, I just started folding as well and I was wondering if I can fold with 2 machines at the same time under the same name, and if so, should I use the same passkey, or how should I go about it? Figured I'd put the laptop to work as well, even if it is slower than the desktop, the only concern being heat (maybe I'll put a book under it so it pulls air easier).
