Q:  What does Genome Crash Monitor do?
A:  It monitors your Genome@Home program to see if it is running.  If Genome@Home is not running, Crash Monitor restarts it, using a variety of user selected options.  The user can also specify the number of times to let the client crash before getting a new work unit.

Q:  What do I put in "Location of G@H"?
A:  Use the browse button next to this text box to find the folder of your Genome@Home program

Q:  What do I put in "Alternate Location of G@H"?
A:  By using this feature, you need to have a second Genome@Home computer either on your computer or on a network.  When the Genome@Home client crashes the number of times you specify, Crash Monitor will use this alternate directory to start processing.  This is good if you have one computer without Internet access and want to use another to process work in.  To use this option, first select the "use alternate location when getting new work" box.  Then use the browse button to locate a second directory of the Genome@Home program.

Q:  What is "Run in Stealth Mode"?
A:  This makes Genome Crash Monitor totally invisible.  There is no system tray icon or box in the taskbar.  To get the program back after making it run in stealth mode, hold ALT + Number Pad 0.

Q:  What is "Run with nonet"?
A:  This starts the Genome@Home program with the command "-nonet" meaning it will not try to access the Internet and will keep working on the current workunit for an indefinite amount of time.

Q:  What is "# of times to let G@H crash before getting new wu"?
A:  This lets you specify the number of times the Genome@Home program can crash before attempting to get a new work unit.  A good number to use is 2.  This means that the client can crash once, and on the second time will get a new work unit.
