New bug with the v23.4 (or earlier)?
 

I run Prime on a machine using the 'start on bootup' option. Normally I terminate Prime if I was to run some applications and restart it after I have finished. However with the newer version of Prime95 if I have quitted Prime95 and restart it, when I log off windows it will also kill the prime95 process, instead of continuing to run.

Older version of prime does not have this problem. I am unable to isolate which version started this but it should be in version 23s.

I hate it when code that hasn't changed one iota stops working! Keep me posted on any further details

Just a side note, something to make your life easier. I use the settings in the undoc.txt file to pause prime95 while certain other programs are running. Might be something to look into.

I have been using 'stop' instead of terminating the program. I am wondering if I am the only one experiencing this though.

Which OS? I have something similar on Windows XP.

The machine that has this problem is running an evaulation version of Windows Server 2003. I have not confirm if it happens on Windows XP but this DOES NOT HAPPEN on previous versions of Prime on the same machine. I am unable to isolate from which exact Prime95 version this started happening.

I'm running Windows 2000 Pro and I haven’t noticed the problem with the service stopping. I have mine set to where it tries to start the service at boot-up, log-in, and log-off, so its windows will be up when I start the computer, and then I can see the progress of an exponent.

Maybe 2003 manages services different than 2000.

xtreme2k,
When you restart, do you restart the service or do you restart the Prime95 application? Applications usually stop at logout while services don't. But I guess you knew that already .....

I quit and restart the application. But with older version even if I quit and restar the application, the service will still run after I logout. This no longer happens with the newer versions of Prime95.

I think there are some changes in the way George re-implemented this option several versions ago. I'd recommend that you use net start/stop and see if that works.

Any change that Win 2K3 has some options like restarting a service automatically as it's failing??
