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)?

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  ;D ).

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.

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

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