For running the parallel programs you will need to install a copy of WMPI. 
This can be downloaded at http://www.criticalsoftware.com/hpc/. 

In the directories, you will find the projects done using VisualStudio.NET.

Just enter into the Debug directory of the application you which to run
and check the *wmpi.clusterconf* file and *wmpi.pg* file. The first one
defines your cluster. The second one defines the processes that are 
going to run. For how to change this files, check the documentation of
WMPI. They contain just one machine named "orion". You have
to changing this to the name of your machine. By omission, directly
calling the executable starts 10 processes on the local machine.

Note that in the NQueens programs you can specify the size and
granularity of the jobs in the command line. Eg: NQueens 20 2

Enjoy!

-----------

If you need to recompile the executables, you will have to alter the 
directories which are being used for locating WMPI. I am not using the
standard installation directories. Open the dialog containing the properties
of the project make sure that the following items are pointing to your 
installation of WMPI:
  * C/C++  | General | Additional Include Directories
  * Linker | General | Additional Library Directories
  * Linker | Input   | Additional Dependencies  (wmpi2.lib must be here)
