I tried to install the Windows SMP client on my Grandpa's computer, and this is what the log said:

The GPU client is running perfectly on the 9600GSO card.
 
When it comes to the WinSMP client there is no such thing as a weird error; there are just errors.

 
I am not sure but this seems like a -SMP flag type of thing. I know if you search for SMP problems with my user name you will find a lot more questions than answers though. SMP makes me feel dumb.
Hopefully Xil will come along soon. He always seems to help.

 
CoreStatus = 63 (99)+ Error starting Folding@Home core.Generically, this error is reported when some initial fahcore startup requirement is not met.

 
I think it's funny when a nOObie tries to help me, but I'm glad that you care enough to try! Thanks, keep it up man!
 
This is a permission issue, which mean that you probably didn't start the client with the "Run as administrator" assuming you run Vista.

 
I just tried that, and it made NO difference. It did exactly the same thing.
 
did you just try deleting the work folder, and the queue.dat? sometimes that fixes smp issues for me.
 
I just installed it, it got the unit FRESH from the server. This is the new Nvidia 8200 chipset board. It could be some kind of compatibility issue. I tried EVERYthing suggested so far, and nothing is making a difference. It gives the same error. Maybe I should try the MPICH version and see if it might work.
 
I decided to try the MPICH client and for some reason it's working perfectly when the Denio would not. I have Denio on my laptop and it worked perfectly. I don't really care, I'm just glad it's working, every PPD helps!
