UserPWD=password
UserName=userid
UserEmailAddr=email
Newsletters=1
UserID=UserID

Top=280
Right=1416
Bottom=1127
OutputIterations=10000
ResultsFileIterations=999999999
DiskWriteTime=30

Is your Processor a Pentium 4? If it is, have you turned ON hyperthreading?

Hyperthreading needs to be off really its not much of a performance difference but does foul up prime95 and the readout of cpu usage. Gl And welcome...
