    Are you running Windows Vista ?
    If yes, then you've got your answer.

    SuperPi doesn't work properly in Vista in most if not all cases

    Here's the trick for pi/Vista.

    Select 32m, when the start box pops up, slide it so it's half way off of your screen. It will complete if it's stable.
