[QUOTE=petrw1;151296]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.[/QUOTE]Since it starts up with -a1 switch (work[b]0001[/b].txt) it is definitely a leftover from the previous installation. I suppose you have only one instance of Prime95 in services... That is the culprit. Look at its properties : the "Path to executable" will be "...\Prime95.exe -A1".

If it is :
to change that exit Prime95, start the Prime95 service, In the now running instance of Prime95 go to the menu Options and uncheck "Start at bootup". Now you restart your OS. No Prime95 instance should starts, go to your Prime95 directory start Prime95, go to the options menu and check "Start at bootup", the resulting service should be free of the -A1 switch.
or a quicker way to correct this is to use regedit and go to the key HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Prime95 and correct the value of ImagePath. [b]Of course use regedit at your own risk.[/b]
finally another dirtier way to live with this problem is just to delete the 0001 files and rename your good parameter files to their 0001 counterpart. (local.txt to loca0001.txt, ... and worktodo.txt to work0001.txt) put I would advise against this last bypass but it is quick and dirty.

Hello,

is there a solution for the "V5UserID changed to ANONYMOUS" problem?
Yesterday evening I've setup some v25.7 clients (linux) doing some P-1 work.
I've checked my status page and there were 48 assignments, so far, so good.
Today all 24 assignments where no longer listed in my status page so I've checked the status of some of them, they are assign to ANONYMOUS.
I've checked the prime.txt: in 9 out of 16 cases the V5UserID was changed to ANONYMOUS.

btw.: all clients are using the same HardwareGUID, I've set FixedHardwareUID=1, this should be OK, right?

Ugh, I thought I'd squashed any anonymous problems. Please send me the prime.log file from one or two affected machines.

I don't know why you would use the FixedHardwareUID option to set up the client on different computers. It is little tested, and perhaps the cause of the trouble.

Oops. I applied the newly found credit with a 5.5 multiplier rather than the correct 5.075 multiplier. I'll fix it. You'll now see a drop in v4 credit.

[QUOTE=petrw1;149792]- My team total is about 200 credits below my account total (and 100 below my Lifetime completed) ... not sure I can be sure what is missing and/or possibly double counted because the #of results and #of credits are different in more than 1 row.

Thanks for the progress[/QUOTE]

Fixed...thanks

No, NONE in services.

[QUOTE=petrw1;151384]No, NONE in services.[/QUOTE]There is a setting somewhere that starts the program... Try a search for Prime95 in the registry via regedit. Note the location of each instance found. Did you look in all startup directories (All User, your login...) Do a search of your disks to find worktodo and work0001 files, look at the associated files prime, primXXXX, local locaXXXX .ini or .txt. i there something pointing to a service (the relevant file should be local.txt : ServiceName=your service name, DisplayName=your service display name) If needed you can post the content of those files or PM them to me.

[QUOTE=petrw1;151293]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.[/QUOTE]

And the answer is....

Even though it is one assignmen it counts as 3 results - the same 3 that show up in my Results Page:
1. 58-62
2. 63
3. 64

[QUOTE=petrw1;151178]There are LL too. For example: 28865267, 25501093, 28004047.
They all showed a percentage for a while but without a Stage but the percentage counter stopped before it finished. Can't remember why.

Since I recently did the LL I cannot do the DC.

Hey more progress.....
 

I followed the advice of a previous poster (sorry I don't remember who or which forum ... but thanks).

1. I put all my currently assigned exponents left over from v4 in the worktodo.add file. (P.S. Not sure why I had to do them 1 by 1. Even when the worktodo.add had many entries only the first was added to worktodo.txt but all were removed from worktodo.add)
2. This assigned them a GID(?) from the v5 server.
3. They still showed up as v4_computers assignments but I got stage/% updates on them.
4. ...that is until today. They now all show up as belonging to the appropriate CPU. :smile:

Now all I have left assigned to v4_computers are a bunch of v4-era assignments that finished but stayed as assigned.
- The LL tests completed and later were listed as D tests. NOT good since one CPU can't do both.
- The TF tests completed but stayed as assigned TF tests.
However, NONE of these assignments show up in any worktodo.txt file on any of my CPUs.

I would simply Unassign all of these but I hesitate in case George still wants to do some of his own verification and clean-up on them.

I await direction with the patience of Job.
