Failure of F@H since Installing MS Win XP Pro SP3 [wininet]

[Willtel]

Hello,

I am STUCK Working on:
p4410_Seq_46_nat_AMB GROMACS cor
Frames Completed 150/150

F@H has been working fine for over 4 months until I upgraded to SP3 now it says
F@H Attempting to get Work Packet.

Does F@H Windows Client Version 5.03 Support the New SP3 for Win XP Pro SP1+SP2+SP3?

The following is copy of last part of Log.

Hello Willtel, welcome to the forum.

You patched yourself in to blocking the fah client with the current client settings that you are using. Let's change those settings.

Right click the red icon, select configure, select Connection Tab. Make sure both the USE IE and Proxy boxes are NOT checked. OK. Right click the red icon again, select quit. Wait 30 sec. and start the client again.

The (wininet) message in the log is the clue. Should work again. It would have been okay if you had left USE IE unchecked, as that is the default setting.

If not fixed, post back, with the new fahlog.
