So last night I checked my SMP on my main machine and it was at 100% and shutting down the MPI thing. So I went to bed figuring it takes a couple minutes to clean up before sending and starting a new WU. So this morning I get up and its still stuck there. I shut it down and then restart it and its still stuck, but this time it's just sitting there with something about the license agreement I think. I don't know, I got up early and can't remember now that i'm at work. Anyone else had the client get hung up after finishing a WU?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
MPI not shutting down?

It can happen to hang when a WU finish but yours seems to be worse. My advice would be to stop everything, kill all the processes, rerun install.bat then restart in hope it works again.
I have one machine doing the same exact thing. It is Vista 64 bit machine and I am getting very tempted at turning off UAC perm and see if that fixes... worst case I'm reinstall the client this weekend. It has hung on me 3 times sitting at shutting down mpi. Even though I ran the client as Administrator!!! OYE!!!
Trouble shooting all these little issues is keeping me busy. Network router overloads, a machine that likes to disconnect from the network mid day every day! My HTPC just stopping upon finishing. All are causing my 17k Farm to only output 12k...

Strange, I've had this happen a couple times on my x64 Vista as well...never paid a lot of attention to it or what WU it was, just restarted and it shoved it on up to Stanford.
The real problem is when this occurs mid day and you lose 6 or 7 hrs of folding time!
Happens on my Vista x86 install too. Although not all the time, sometimes it goes through, sometimes not - this morning it hung (seems to be 50/50ish chance). Although luckily it was idle for only ~2-3 hours max before I woke up and killed it/restarted to send the data & get a new WU.
Maybe you can figure it out, I've tried re-installs and it didn't do anything for me. I hate losing up to 8 hours of folding time on a regular basis dammit!

Yeah this is the first time i've seen it happen since i started running the SMP client. So I went home for lunch today and played with it some. Tried to run the install again and it wouldn't do anything else, so I gave it the good ole reboot and TADA! the client fired right up, sent the WU, and grabbed a new one. It had already completed 2 steps when I left. But like Sunin said, it sucks cause i lost valuable folding time, about 12 hours worth

I make it a habit of tending to my crops...errr......computers, early before I go to work ,and then again when i come home. I practically live downstairs in my basement area working on or tweaking machines when I can. Hey, its a fun hobby, and it keeps me out of trouble.

LOL funny thing is, this hobby gets me INTO trouble because the wife thinks its dumb and we should spend money on useless stuff for the house instead.
