That works! Thank you so much for your help!<br>It's odd, because the account I am using is an "Administrator" account. I guess the Vista Administrator account doesn't actually have full privileges by default.<br>Thanks again!

<font size="2"> Hi,<br>
In Vista you have to install/start any Service using an admin command prompt. You can install SMPD (MPICH2 process manager which is installed as a Service) using one of the following ways,<br>
<br>
# Right-click on "command prompt" icon and select "run as administrator". Type "smpd -install" from the command prompt (now running with admin privileges).<br>
<br>
OR<br>
<br>
# Type "cmd" on the "start search" textbox. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (to elevate privileges) to start the command prompt with admin privileges. Type "smpd -install" from the command prompt to install SMPD.<br>
<br>
Let us know if it works for you.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jayesh<br>

Hi Jayesh,<br>
I'm sorry to bother you. I've read through your MPICH2 Windows Development Guide, and am having trouble running smpd on my 64 bit Vista machines. If I run "smpd -restart", I see the following:<br>
<br>
restarting the smpd service...<br>
OpenSCManager failed:<br>
Access is denied. (error 5)<br>
OpenSCManager failed:<br>
Access is denied. (error 5)<br>
<br>
I have turned off the firewall. Have you seen this issue before? Is there some other setting in Vista that you know of that might be blocking smpd?<br>
I have no problem running "smpd -restart" on my 32-bit Windows XP box.<br>
<br>
Thank you and regards,<br>
David Lantos<br>
