OK, you're running the windows SMP client I take it.
I have no experience with that one.
I'd say run a search & /or check the stickies.
We've had a rash of Win SMP - no goes lately.

Hang in there, the more you read about it the better.
You have that .NET thing installed? and updated?
What type of Windows? Vista? XP? 32 bit or 64 bit?
I run Ubuntu 64 bit mostly, but I know these things do matter.
Keep and eye here over the next day and be sure to post back.

Go to the directory where the SMP client was installed by the installer... by default in Program Files\Folding @ Home something... not sure exactly I change the directory name when I install.
Anyway... from a command line, like you're at now, go to that directory and type install. This will fire the install.bat and it will ask you for your username and password (of the account you are currently logged in), give it that. Once those are entered correctly you should see something about MPI is working, twice.
Once you've got that... run this: fah -configonly
Enter your Folding ID (HDCHOPPER) and Team # 32. Make sure you answer "yes" to large work (> 5MB). You can just use the rest of the defaults for now.
Once you've got that... run this: fah -verbosity 9 -forceasm
That will start the client... it's recommended that you always use that startup command. Also, always use Ctrl+C to stop the client.
I'm going to bed now but will be back ~8:00am Central... don't get discouraged we'll get you going.

When you enter the password, nothing shows up in the console, it's a security thing.
You need to be logged in to Windows as a user with a password. If you don't have one, then SMP won't work properly. Go to Start-> Control Panel -> User Accounts, and either change your account to have a password, or make a new account and give it a password.

It said "Press any key to continue", so what happened when you pressed a key?
Here's what I'd do:
1) Open Windows Explorer and go to the FAH directory where it was installed.
2) Select the fah.exe file, and right click on it.
3) Select "create a shortcut" from the pop-up menu.
4) Now select the shortcut you just made for FAH, and right click on IT.
5) Select "Properties", and look for the "Target" line, about dead center.
6) On the end of the target line, outside the quotation marks, add this:
" -verbosity 9 -forceasm", without the quotes.
7) Click on Apply button, and save, and start up FAH smp, with your new shortcut (which I would drag to the desktop, just cause I'm lazy).
Note: there is one space before each hyphen, but no space after they hyphen, at all. FAH is very fussy about these things.
