The version of SMP client I was using must have expired, cause I rebooted my computer today and the service would not restart. So once again I have to download the latest version of client and wrestle with that to get it working. This has happened probably 3 or 4 times in the last year or so, they put an expiration on the client and then I run into problems getting the new version to work.
I just spent the last hour and a half trying to get 6.22 to work and the best I can get is it running 100% on only one core. If I try to specify -smp in the config then the service won't start. I've tried both 6.22 versions, the original mpi and the new Deino, uninstalled and completely removed the folder, reinstall and same thing.
I've been reading lots of posts about problems with 6.22 but didn't see anyone with my particular issue, most of them seem to be concerning EUE's, and I can't even get mine to run much less end a work unit early.
I realize the SMP client is beta and I know they don't "officially" support running this as a service, but why do they give you the option to install it as one and then it doesn't work? And why do they have to always break something every time they release a new version? My machines could all be running smooth for months and then bam, the client expires and I have to figure out what they changed in the new version so I can get it working again.
I have to admit this latest version > me, cause I give up. I don't feel like wasting any more time trying to get it running as a service, and I refuse to run 4 console windows to max out my quad. The old version is still running on my server and it should continue to run as long as I don't reboot it, but sooner or later that will go away too. Oh well, at least my electric bills will go down.
