Here is the tutorial. I had typed up something nice but my computer crashed. If you have any questions, e-mail me or PM me.

First thing we need to do is download the installation file. You can do that by going to this link

http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

And find your operating systems link.
As a quickie, if you use Windows XP and you are not the best at comptuers, I suggest you download at this link.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...ng@Home503.EXE

Then run the program and install it. Use all the default settings until you get the the screen that has two options.

1) Run Installed Application (or something like that)
2) Read the readme.

There should be a filled in checkbox next to each one. Uncheck the one next to the second option (the readme) and press Finish or Next, whatever it says.

Then another page should come up that looks like the attached picture.

You'll want to put in your ClubLexus.com username instead of vraa, and instead of 0 put in 45435 so that ClubLexus.com gets the credit.

You can check the other tabs for different options, but the stuff we have put in right now are pretty good.

After you press okay, it'll look like the screen disappears. Just go to your taskbar, and you'll see a red flower thingy. Double click that, and a really cool screen will come up. That's the proteins being downloaded and processed.

You're on your way to helping solve diseases!

PS remember to put ClubLexus.com team number is the spot below (our number is 45435) as the image below shows '0'.

For more advanced computer folks - if you have a Dual Core or Quad Core machine that can dedicate time to folding, I advise looking at the "SMP" client which will take advantage of your computer's better processing capabilities (and produce a lot more points)!

If you have a PC with an ATI 1800 1900 or 1950 video card I recommend also running the "GPU" client which will use the processor/shader and memory on those video cards to fold.

There are folding clients for Macintosh, Linix, PS/3s - please pitch in!
