Pausing for games...
 
From undoc.txt:

[QUOTE]PauseWhileRunning=prog1,prog2,prog3,etc

Note that prime95 will pause if the program name matches any part of the running program's file name. That is "foobar" will match "c:\foobar.exe", "C:\FOOBAR\name.exe", and even "C:\myfoobarprog.exe". By default, prime95 will check the list of running programs every 64 iterations, but not more frequently than every 10 seconds. You can adjust the time period with this prime.ini setting:

PauseCheckInterval=n

where n is the number of seconds between checking which programs are running.[/QUOTE]This is my prime.ini line:

[CODE]PauseWhileRunning=et.exe,wolfmp.exe,wolfsp.exe,mcm2.exe[/CODE]The problem is with et.exe because every program I run that has "et" in it causes Prime95 to pause!

I thought by naming it specifically it would happen only for that particular program... Unfortunately I have a pile of programs that have "et" as part of their name!

Please help! :help:

Prime95 should only pause when a program contains "et.exe". Did you restart prime95 after changing prime.ini?

If this is a bug, then you might can workaround the problem by putting the directory name instead of the executable name in the pause list.

Thanks!
