About running VMware, I have found that WinXP running two VMware instances (Ubuntu) provides a gain in processing speed relative to two WinXP instances (even with your A-Ch). And, in my experience A-Ch has worked very well. Two instances of SMP under virtual Linux are roughly equivalent, or slightl...

Sounds like a couple of things are going on. ID#1 is probably running as a service and is launching on startup. or as we see from your log file: Launch directory: C:\Program Files\Folding@Home Executable: C:\Test\FAH504-Console.exe Arguments: -configonly [08:14:44] - Ask before connecting: No [08:14...
