SMP client only running on one core

Looks like definitions of "behind" got crossed in that thread. I do that all the time.

What he was saying is "C:\Users\Pinsky Inc\FAH\FAH6-smp.exe".

Edit: Peter's probably right; I don't do FAH much.
 
I'm not sure you are setting the flags correctly (you may be, but it sounded wrong from what I read). Looks like this in my shortcut:
Code: 
"C:\FAH SMP\Folding@home-Win32-x86.exe" -verbosity 9 -advmethods -smp

Wait now I am confused...

Edit: Oh I see what you did. I don't think it will work that way unless the executable is called "FAH6-smp.exe" to begin with, and even then the -smp flag would not be present so would still likely run on one core. The -smp flag has to be added after whatever the executable is named, and after the second quotation mark. Let me know if it works for you.

So if your executable is called "FAH6.exe" then you will have the following shortcut:
Code: 
"C:\Users\Pinsky Inc\FAH\FAH6.exe" -smp

Wow guys, quick responses, thanks.
I tried the above and got "Folding@home
Core Shutdown: FILE_IO_ERROR"

Peter: I tried "C:\Users\Pinsky Inc\FAH\FAH6.exe" -smp
originally and it didn't work but I'll try again.
 
YEAH!
I retried "CUsers\Pinsky Inc\FAH\FAH6.exe" -smp
and now folding 100%, using all 4 cores...thanks guys, although I'm not sure what I did differently from last time, maybe a space or something? I dunno
 
Glad to hear you got it working! I would advise you configure the client before running it, using the -configonly flag in the same manner as the others (then when it is configured, remove that flag again obviously). Definitely recommend -verbosity 9 as well, this simply increases the detail of the log file to its most detailed, useful for troubleshooting.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!
 
Glad to see you got it working!
FYI
In the Target text box of Properties of a shortcut:
The quotes around the executable path name are needed if that path name contains a space character 🙂
