@PantherX thanks, it could be that it indeed was an instablility problem.

If I can ask one more question. Is it normal that if you shut down the SMP client before the WU is finished, that it starts searching for another WU the next time you start the client. My Q9550 was calculating an a3 WU (42%) and now it's searching for a b4 WU. I even have the -smp flag on it.

Thanks

No, that's not normal. Post FAHlog.

Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

EDIT: Sorry nvm, I started it as administrator and it worked from 42%

Apparently running As Administrator has solved your problem.

If you read the installation guides carefully, it gives you three options for Vista/Seven.
1) Choose an installation directory outside of Program Files.
2) Run As Administrator
3) Disable User Account Control security in Control Panel "User Accounts"

You are using option 2. Personally, I prefer option 1, but they all work.
