CPDn is runing on one of the cores of the Core Duo and taskmanager is showing 50% CPU usage.
The OS is Win XP pro 2002 ver 2002 SP2

Is there a way to get CPDN on the second core as well?
I tried to register the project a second time to get a second work package, what is not possible.

Thanks for your tips and tricks.

Did you try to change the number of CPUs in your general preferences ?
(On multiprocessors, use at most: 2 processors)

Hi Arnaud, yes I did. It\'s set to \"use at most: 2\".

Hi,

Couple more minor things to check:

* Did you click \'update\' against the project so the manager would download the new settings?

* Is \'no more work\' set against the project? If so, press \'allow new work\'
I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.

Hi Mike,

yes I did check all of this.

When I increased the usable diskspace to 2 GB Boinc started to download a second package and the second core went busy.

So the solution is, to increase the disk workspace in a way that BOINC will download at least two work packages to run them at the same time on both cores.

Thanks for all the comments.
