Are you currently running another instance of folding@home from before? Maybe a graphical interface version? If so, you'll have to stop that first to run 2 client versions. If not, then you need to setup two directory folders each with a copy of folding@home program, eg. folding1 & folding2. The easiest way to do this is when you download the latest client version of folding@home make a copy and put it into the other folder, i.e. folding2. Then make a shortcut of each folding@home executable file in each of their respectable folders (make sure each shortcut's properties are pointing to their respectable folder's executable). Then amend the target field to add the flags, eg. FAH502-Console.exe" -local -forceasm -config. The local will make it use the files in that specific folder not the other one. I would rename this shortcut something like Runconfig2. Now you'll need to follow what Chewtoy stated about the machine IDs in the config adv menu. If this doesn't help you please let us know more detail about how you have your folding@home setup and if there are any folding@home services running "control-alt-del".

There is already another Folding@Home running.
Only one copy may be run at a time. This copy will now quit.
How do I get around this problem?
