[mpich-discuss] Windows 7 64 problems with credentials (tried many things)

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 I am in the process of trying out Win 7 64-bit VM at our lab. I will update you soon on my findings.

(PS: Tested WinXP 32-bit/64-bit in VM - both work fine with 1-4 logical processors)
Regards,
Jayesh

No, it was the same number (2), but I did boot the VM with just 1 processor, and there was no change in the problem.

Hi, 
Have you configured more logical processors on your VM than available on your host ?

Yes, I tried both of those things with no luck. Also, no virus scanner is running.

I believe this an unrelated bug because mpiexec then fails with "op_read error on left context: Error = -1" rather than the credentials error. Since this failure is related to process affinity, I wonder if there's a problem relating to my using two processors in my machine, which is a VirtualBox virtual machine.
