Simple question on Prime95

xtreme2k · 2003-03-30, 16:30

If I enable "start at bootup" under the option menu. Does Prime95 start without a user having to log on?

If you select the option "Start at bootup" while logged on with an administrator account 8) , it will istall Prime95 as a service (with automatic startup at boot time). If you do it as a (power-) user then it will only be fired when that user logged in.

This, I think, assumes that you are using Windows NT, 2000 or XP.

Windows 95 and 98 don't have the same concept of administrator accounts. If you are using Windows 9x (with the separate users option switched on) then Prime95 will start on bootup, even if no user logs in.

Reboot It your absolutely right, since I only use NT, XP and Linux I had forgotten those of us still using 95, 98 or ME

ops: . Thanks for the addition.
