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

[Jim Hunziker]

I just tried MPICH2 1.3rc2(x86_64 version) on my 64-bit Windows 7
Professional VM inside VirtualBox on a 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 host. It has 2
processors enabled, and my host has a Core 2 Duo. I installed using an admin
command prompt as well, and I have no firewall running.

I don't know of any special VM settings I have running. With the 1.3
version, I still get the line 157 affinitize assertion error.

I'm going to try building MPICH2 to see if I can isolate the problem.
