Need help/BOINC/Vista

[elec999]

I have a quad core q6600 with the latest version of Boinc in Vista. I am not how to properly install the optimized client, I get the optimized to run only two of my cores, while the other two running regular setii.
Thank you

Very interesting how you manage to get such configuration
Basically, you just need to copy all from Files to install folder of SSSE3-version archive you've downloaded to SETI project directory.
Try to restart BOINC.
What processes names that runs on all 4 cores (2 different names I suppose from your post)?

I copy all the files from files to copy to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC and wont pickup

They need to go in the project folder, not the BOINC folder. It would probably be
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu

For BOINC 6 and Vista correct path is "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu". But beware, ProgramData is hidden directory, you probably need full administrative access with elevated privilegies to see it. (Or to disable Vista's UAC  ).

What about XP? it used to be in c:\program files\Boinc\Projects

[Raistmer]

algorithm the same:
search for BOINC\Projects directory. Then go into BOINC\Projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu subdirectory. Then copy all files from Files to install to Projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu.

With 6.2.19 for Windows there is no Projects in program files\Boinc
There is one userdata but Boinc wont get that Optimized seti when I copy there.
I did a search for "Project/s" and only finds it in appdata.
Thanks

Please,
1)write full path for Projects directory you found
2)write full path to folder where you copied seti opt app files.

Found C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC
Copied C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu
Thanks

[Raistmer]

Did you copy just files, not Files to install directory itself?

[elec999]

I copy the files from the install folder to the seti at home folder.
Thanks
