(sorry for my poor English first :P)

Hey!I just wondering about some rare problems.Few days ago,I can't see the folding cilent icon in the Windows mission board and I can't open the cilent.So I shut down the cilent forcibly in the Windows task maneger.The problem has solved,but there are something I feel uncertain about.

If I shut down the folding client forcibly.Are there will be anything wrong with folding?If the wrong folding happend,this 'wrong' calculation results will be upload to the lab?

Thanks in advance for answering some newbie questions! :D

Welcome to the F@H Forum axnotsowell,

Please note that if you do force a shutdown, the next time the client starts, it will perform a verification check on any saved checkpoints. If the checkpoints are valid, it will continue. If they are bad, it will either restart the WU or simply exit and inform the server. Either way, no "wrong" results will make it past the server.
