I'm having a little trouble following the "merging" instructions below ... 
.maybe I am just a little thick  ;-)

((First of all though ... I did just increase the cache size of both 
SETIdriver instances to 4.  ))

What is the problem of having 2 instances of SETIdriver icon appeaering in 
systray? Is this causing the stopping-of-seti-processing-activity that I 
mentioned in my first post in this  thread?

**************************************

"open the seti driver folders" : this is in my C:\SETIdriver directory?  ---  
There are folders numbered 1 thru 4  there.

"stop one instance of SETI Driver (use the exit button) and renumber the

subfolders in the stopped instance so none of its folders conflict with 
the
numbering in the other seti driver folder."  --- How do I know which 
subfolders belong to which stopped instance ?? "renumber" then as what ? 
5, 6, 7 ,8 ... etc. ?

I think i have more questions, but I will stop here until i have the 
preceeding cleared up !

Thanks !!

Also, on a HT enabled processor, don't check the Set Affinity checkbox as
this will cause serious (to the extent of system stoppage) bottlenecks on
the CPUs memory bus.  For maximum throughput on your system, set your
maximum processes to 2, unless you know you have at least 2Mb of L2 cache.
In this case, set your maximum processes to 4.

To merge your two instances of SETI Driver, open the seti driver folders,
stop one instance of SETI Driver (use the exit button) and renumber the
subfolders in the stopped instance so none of its folders conflict with 
the
numbering in the other seti driver folder.  It doesn't matter which SETI
Driver folder gets the renumbering..  Then simply move all the numbered
folders under the instance of SETI Driver you didn't stop.  Delete the
stopped instance.  Now open the remaining seti driver GUI from the task 
bar
system tray and set your desired cache size (2 * MAX Processes) + 1.  SETI
Driver will do the rest for you, shrinking or growing the cache as needed 
as
well as ensuring that the oldest WUs are processed first.  Don't panic if
you see missing WU numbers - this is a known bug and SETI Driver will fix
this situation if it occurs.
