Yes, the migration on dual core systems isn't 100% bulletproof. First, stop and exit Prime95.
You'll have to move the old assignments from the worktodo.ini file into the new worktodo.txt file. If you were running 2 copies from the same directory, the old work will be in work0001.ini, othewise it will be in worktodo.ini in the directory you ran the second v24 client from. In either case, grab the lines from that old file and copy them into the worktodo.txt in the [Worker #2] section of the file. I'd put these old assignments directly below [Worker #2] so they get finished off first before the newly assigned ones run. If you ran in separate directories, you'll also want to copy the save files from the second v24 directory into the v25 directory. These are the large (2-10MB) files starting with p and q. Copying these over will make sure you restart from where the v24 client left off instead of starting over from the beginning. Now restart and you should see the old exponents listed under thread #2.
