I just installed the program and joined the group. Hopefully lol.

I hover over the icon in the taskbar and it says CPU - F@h: Working (0/1500)

I haven't seen it move/change at all. Is there some settings I have to configure?
CPU Folding is generally quite slow. It could take a while before you get it to change. You can monitor your folding with Fahmon:

A faster form of folding would be using your graphics card. Get the GPU2 client (nVidia) from this site:

And welcome to the fold

Well that graphics card should get you around 5,000-6,500 PPD (points per day) and I think the top 1,500 is 36,000 points now. So about a week if you fold 24/7 or 10 days if you're a bit more relaxed about it.

I'll probably just leave it 24/7.. does it effect gaming and everyday things, movies, music, forums, etc?

In general yes, it's difficult to agme while folding. But I'm running a GTS 250 (rebranded version of your graphics card) on a 19" monitor and I can play most games while folding without noticing a drop in performance.

If it gets too much, you could always rightclick the client and pause the WU while gaming

How do you pause a SMP?

I don't think you can; just the normal system tray client I'm afraid.

For some reason my GPU isn't folding like it was before I shut down my PC last night. When I display the status the time left disappears then comes back again. Does anyone know what can be causing this? My GPU used to fold really fast and now it don't.

Is it a different work unit?
Some are more complicated and process slower - but are worth more points.
