They will send you a handle (nickname) to use via email
Download the client here:
http://www.blueprint.org/proteinfold..._download.html
Install it to c:\dcprojects\distribfold or where ever...
Go into that directory and do the following:
Create a file called handle.txt and put in the nickname they sent you via email and save it
Create a file called autoupdate.cfg and put a 1 in it and save it.
If you have 256mb of ram at least,
edit the foldit.bat file
Find this line
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native
and change it to
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -rt
and if you want maximum performance use
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -rt -qt
(then use a 3rd party add-on to monitor it. - see below)
If you don't have the memory (-rt), you can try it anyways and watch out for the disk swapping...
Save it and now run foldit.bat
You will show up in the stats within 1-2 hours :)
You will need to login to your personal page with the handle you got and the password you entered during registration, here:

Then you can join the Free-DC.org Team, among other things, while you are there.
