I had a blank password and had to change it to something to get it to work, the core dies if you use a blank password.

Yes I know I have password enabled my account.... does it matter if I have used a capital and its alphanumeric??

Hmm. I guess the deadlines are going to be too tight to run on non-Dual Core hardware (i.e. P4s), especially if they're saying to turn HT off. Given how badly my P4 boxen are doing at the current non-SMP WUs, I guess that doesn't surprise me, but it's a shame.

Oh well, I'll stick with VMWare until there's a 32-bit Linux client then.

Am I to assume that the Windows SMP client installs exactly the same way as all the other clients? If so I could add an SMP Windows section to the guide. Although I think that might be a bit redundant since the stickies have more than enough information on installing Windows Console clients.

It's different, but similar I guess.

Unless of course you're using Vista, when the OS may know better.

should never hide the admin accounts tbh
when you need to run the recovery console you'll need its password.

Have you tried rebooting after install .netv2... if you have could you post your latest fahlog entries so we can see exactly what is happening.

So if you don't have a windows password it won't work?

nope as it has to store a password (encrypted in reg) and a blank one gives it issues.
use your admin account and just give that a password.
if you're on vista read this

I just created a password, working now.

Does it work with fahmon?
How do i start it up each time, just run the exe?
How would i find out the password for my admin account?
