Thanks to Mattlock - I managed to sort out the 'password' problem & I successfully installed the SMP client V1.01.

In the DOS box I answered the questions etc.. I entered my name and team number OK and answered yes to the question of 'Run at startup' etc...I noted that it would need a reboot for the auto start to kick in.

The DOS box filled with what I guess it was supposed to display and very soon it fetched a work unit and started work.

It immediately grabbed all four cores and the processor was working at 100%

I couldnt immediately find how I could re-configure it to run at say 50% until I checked out core temperatures etc...

I closed the dos box via the 'x'. Immediately the folding ceased

I rebooted but it doesn't seem to be folding but fah.exe @ 0% & mpiexec.exe @ 10% are in Task Manager Process.

Question:
1) How do I correctly start folding
2) do I have to suffer the dos box being open
3) How do I config the usage percentage
