Go to your taskbar

 

 

Click the "^" arrow (Next to the Flag, Internet connection thingy, and the volume thing)

 

Click on the F@H emblem

 

hope it helps

Won't work either, this is doing my head in can see it running in taskmanager but it says "Client Connection Timed Out".. Any ideas?

try to reinstall the client! or reboot system! but first do the reboot sytem thing then a new removal plus install. and also let the firewall set the app as trusted application.

Tried all of that, still won't work sadly, also tried to run (http://folding.stanford.edu/client/) in both mozilla firefox and IE that didn't work either!
