Has anyone using Folding at Home with the chrome browser ever have a serious corruption of Chrome that required re-installation?
I had a serious one yesterday with a restore session problem.  I couldn't get into the browser for it to run properly and tried renaming the Current Session, etc. in the App Data folder.  I reinstalled it a few times but it still wouldn't run.  Turns out Chrome can leave about 360 megs of data behind (depending on your usage most likely) even when uninstalled from Control Panel.  I deleted all that stuff and it's working but not yet giving me back passwords and such.  It's on a laptop machine so not the only machine I use but I really hope to get Folding at Home with Curecoin to work properly.  It was only working for me about two days.

It did finally restore all the passwords in the Gmail sync.  Had to let it alone for a while.

The Crome F@H app only used your CPU to fold with - it doesn't even look at a GPU even when present.

 Also, doing ANYTHING 24/7 on a laptop is a good way to make it overheat and die, not a good idea.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

Yes, I always run it at 50% CPU and only for about 6 hours at a time.  The corruption of Chrome may have been related
to some malware, or just an instability over time, was just curious if anyone else had this happen.
