How to install SMP on Windows XP.

I left it on for 10 mins. And i accidently closed it. It's still at 0 out of 500000 steps. Why didn't it go atleast a few numbers up?

I did that at the beginning. For Machine ID, do i put 1 or 2?

you put 1

Are you running at 100% cpu usage Mebby?

You can make this "How to install SMP on Windows XP and Vista" if you want because its pretty much the same. I just installed it on Vista.

First off, Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 is ALREADY INSTALLED on Vista, no need to download it. I did and thats what it told me when i tried to install it.

You HAVE to Disable UAC as far as i can tell, i tried working around it but could not, as soon as i disabled UAC it worked.
(Start>Control Panel>Click User Accounts>Click User Accounts again>Click "Turn User Account Control On or Off">Uncheck the Box>Press Ok and Restart Now or Later, but you will have to Restart for it to work).

Everything else is the same except i went into the advanced options, i dont know what is set by default, but this is what i used. (Note: I set memory usage to 1024 to see what it did, like how much it used. So set accordingly to your memory. I am using 57% of my 2gigs of memory right now running Vista, SMP, Windows Media Player, Firefox, Photoshop, and AIM as far as whats open, which is the exact percentage of what was being used running SMP through VMware)(EDIT: It its now just using 31% with Firefox and AIM and WMP running on Vista). Here is what i did:



Feel free to add what i said and the image to your post to make it for XP and Vista if you like. Doesnt matter either way. Just thought id share.

EDIT: Found this:

"5) Most SMP WU's will be "big" WU's, so you'll have to configure the client that way. During the client configuration, when the client asks "Allow receipt of work assignments and return of work results greater than 5MB in size (such work units may have large memory demands) (no/yes)" say yes. Suggestion: Change the default. Failure to set BigWU often is reported by the message "Length of WU to be returned exceeds packet limit" when you try to upload. This can be fixed with qfix but that's a lot harder than using BigWU."

Since when is there an SMP client for Windows?
Where do you download it?

I've only seen SMP clients for Linux on Standfords site....
