It's not with my pcs shutting down. It is with the folding program apparently shutting down and restarting in the non SSE boost mode. I understand that that slows down the folding process, so I restart the service and it picks back up. I only have a few pcs and the script helps me. I figured some of you with a lot of them could really take advantage of it. My view is that anytime we have a significant portion of our cpus running in non SSE mode, those are points we are loosing.
If you know of a better way to prevent the second start up from going into non optimized mode, please let me know. Thanks.
BTW, congratulations on a huge day!

"If you know of a better way to prevent the second start up from going into non optimized mode, please let me know" I finally got around to some back reading of this thread. On my machines the SSE boost almost exactly doubles the folding speed (time per frame is half).
I think you can use the -forceasm flag to always get the SSEBoost. I haven't actually tried it, but your post has tweaked my interest.
I just tried running FAH502-Console.exe -configonly -forceasm and it gave me stern warnings about the using the -forceasm flag, but I can't tell it did anything.
Has anyone else used this and can give some pointers?
