I managed to figure it out on my own.
The Folding@Home Website says DEINO is more stable, which is major plus for me.
What do you mean its unsupported?

Yup firewall problem, now I have core download errors, cannot extract core.......

The post you read pertains to the extremely old and outdated 5.92 client. That information does not apply any more. DEINO has been unsupported for a while, meaning there hasn't been any work to improve it at all other than adding support for newer client versions. In the future, MPI will be removed entirely from F@H as the A1 and A2 core are phased out and replaced completely by A3, but for the time being, MPICH should always be used instead of DEINO unless you can't get MPICH to work at all.

Exit the client, delete the core files, run the client again.

Finally, had to pull folder out of programs and run it from my desktop. It has been so long since I have run an SMP client I feel like a complete n00b. Thanks for all your help folks!

Do you have UAC enabled? If so, that may be causing the problem (since it places restrictions on what can be done in the Program Files folder). Anyway, it's good that you've gotten it working from your desktop.

Disabled. I googled around and it seems Vista and 7 can have issues with permissions when you try to run things inside of program files folder. Rather than trying to sort that out I moved the folder. The last time I ran an smp client I was using XP.

Yea you're supposed to run Folding@Home off the root of say C drive.

With Windows Vista and onwards, you don't need to run DEINO. It's only good to run DEINO if you're using 32 bit and on Windows XP and shut down folding a lot. It's the only way to keep your work files saved, and even then it's only associated with the A1 cores. Soon, we won't need MPICH for A3 cores.

That is most certainly not true.

Okay....
Thanks for the tip Zero. Anyway I wasn't getting any work for the DEINO client...
How do you remove an SMP client?
Uninstall DEINO>Delete the folder where you extracted ?
Thanks in advance.
