Makes sense.

I reported the same on another thread.

I have one PC twice. In its case I reinstalled XP and it got a new CPU ID.

I have another PC 3 times. My new Vista Q9550 first registered as a Xeon, then when it reported in completion dates it re-registered as a Q9550 but as a new computer, then I rebooted a few days later and it reported again as a Xeon and after a Man. Comm. it was Q9550 again but a third PC was added. So now I have 1 Xeon and 2 Q9550 but they are all the same PC.

According to my account summary page, I have completed 2196 trial factoring assignments. While I'm sure I have done a lot of TF assignments, I don't think I did that many - probably only a few hundred of them at most.

Can anyone explain this?

For TF, an assignment (usually) is one additional bit level. Trial factoring a single exponent from 63 to 68 bits would be 5 assignments.

My counts are out of whack that way too and I suspect the same thing as ckdo proposed. I am doing TF to Low Limits on one PC. It's assignments are 2^58 to 2^64 with updates and credit awarded at 62, 63 and 64. I haven't figured out yet if that counts as 3 completions or 5.

I'll add it to the wish list, but it is low priority.

Where else can I look for Start Up
 

One of my PCs is a core duo running XP. In version 24 I had to start two instances of Prime95 (one with the -A1 switch) with worktodo.ini and work0001.ini files. With Version 25 it is smarter and I only need 1 instance and it gives me two workers. This is ALL GOOD!!!

After the upgrade to v25 these .ini files were renamed to .txt. Still goodness.

However, now whenever the PC reboots it starts up using the work0001.txt file. All I have to do is Test Stop; Test Exit and then restart it and then it uses the worktodo.txt file.

My question is where can I look to find where it is starting from at bootup?
- It is NOT in Start...Programs...Startup.
- It is NOT in Control Panel...Administration Tools...Services.

You inherited 2160 from the v4 server.

[QUOTE=henryzz;151250]is it possible to combine pcs
i have one pc that shows up twice on the v5 server[/QUOTE]I second the request -- I've got multiple sets of computers listed, for two different reasons:

a) one is the issue [i]petrw1[/i] has been reporting, where the same computer seems to be cloning itself into multiple entries

b) I've reinstalled modified hardware inside a machine enough to give it a new GUID

I would like to be able to merge these all down to what I know to be the actual 3 or 4 real computers I have, not the 17 that show up in my account :smile:

it should be in services...appearing as "Prime95 Service - 0" and "Prime95 Service - 1"...if not i don't know
