Hi, Ondrej,
I met similar problems before. The problem is solved by:
(1) Install all service packs and .net framework 2.0;
(2) Update to the latest version of MPICH2;
(3) I realized that I changed the user name of my account before. The
mpi only recognizes the initial account name. So I registered this account
again.
Good luck!
Vivian
