I think I asked this question earlier, but can't find it in my archives or 
via Google.
Anyway ...

I have 2 instances of SetiDriver 1.6.4.3 running the Seti Command line 
client on my (Win2000 SP4) Intel motherboard with the P4-3.06 GHz.   I have 
MotherBoard Monitor showing me that most of the time both CPU's are loaded 
at 100%.

However every couple of days (perhaps more often), I see the load meters 
showing both 0% and the SetiDriver icon in systray will have one red icon 
and nothing is happening ... until I right click on them and select 
"Transmit". Then it gets a new data set from Seti and all is well ... until 
the next time it happens !

Someone answered me before and suggested a fix ... but I never got around to 
it ... and now I can't find the thread.

Thanks for any help !

Why do you have 2 instances of Seti Driver running? Just pick one and
increase the number of "maximum processes" to the number of cpus you
have, both real and HT. Then increase the number of the "desired cache
size" to double that to avoid problems in case more than one process
finishes at exactly the same moment. Click on transmit and you will
get the new workunits. After that is complete minimize the screen, do
a right click on the icon and click on save settings. I have a dual
cpu unit running this way just fine, my moms laptop had a 2 meg L2
cache and it ran 4 units at the same time this way.
OH..and close down the other one of those SetiDriver's, you will only
need one from now on.
If you put 20 in the "maximum processes" box and you don't have 20
cpus it will not hurt anything, the program will just keep looking for
those other cpus. It IS better to be accurate though.
