Running two instance....

[Charloz24]

Ok need fast help please! I biuld a p4 2.8C HT OC to 3.6 system and now that everythings is stable now it's time to FOLD!!!

But I have a problem, I'm unable to start two instance of folding. Here is what I did:

install folding 4.0 client(graphical) to c:\program files\folding@home
and install another one to c:\program files\folding@home2

I start one folding...it is ok, but I'm unable to start the second I get a error msg saying that there is already one client running....

what did I missed?

and also put all the flags and also -local on the two instance.

And I know the one click install exist for dually, but I can't use I as a service because I'm on dial-up...

Did you set the machine id to 2 for the second client?

double check to make sure, I tried this once but it kept resetting the machine id, was kinda annoying, if the setting is holding, ya got me

do you need two procs to do two instances?

[Charloz24]

No you do not need 2 procs.

BTW my problem was that I was trying to run two instance with the graphical client.

I switched to the console and all was good!

I did it buy installing 1 instance from the stanford site and the other from wedo's one click.

^ I agree, that's what I'm using. It's nice because it runs completely in the background as a service (well two services actually). No annoying unneccesary tray icons.
