(moderation:
Approx. one week age I changed CPUs from a single core 64 bit Athlon to a Dual core 64bit Athlon. I am running both E@H and SETI@H. With the single core only one job would be running at any given time, switching back and forth every 60 min.
With the dual core it ran jobs from both projects at once.
Earlier today I visited BOINC stats for the world website to see if I could combine work I did back in 2005 with work I am doing now, and must have change user names or something while trying to remember what ID I used back in 2005. NOW I CAN ONLY RUN 1 JOB AT a TIME!
I restarted Boinc and amoung the messages was one stating NO Coprocessors in use. Using the tasks tab in shows both E@H and SETI@H running jobs, but only the seti job is actually running.
What in the World have I done?

You don't have a coprocessor. With a coprocessor, BOINC means whether or not you have a GPU. It does not mean whether or not you have a single or multi-core CPU.
As for what is actually happening on your computer, it's difficult for us to see as we only have you telling us what it does. So please post the messages from the event log. All of them from start-up till the first tasks start, please.

All it turned out to be was a work unit that only took a couple of hours to complete, which, as indicated, was running all the time. The percentage to completion was for some reason, "getting stuck" and moving in jumps of 20-25% at a time. Job has since finished, been uploaded, and validated.
Sorry for the misleading post.

Did you reinstall Windows XP

Did you reinstall Windows XP to enable Multiprocessor support?
How many CPUs does task Manager show?
Does Device Manager show 'ACPI Uniprocessor PC' or 'ACPI Multiprocessor PC'?

If it was a Gamma Ray Pulsar task (FGRP2), that's what they do - update progress at (usually) 5% intervals. Sometimes (at the end of a recording channel) there are short tasks which jump at even larger intervals - I just had a batch at Albert which only updated five times per run, at 20% intervals.
