Help on Prime95.

I have just gotten into Prime95, and set the work I wanted my computer to do to 100,000,000 digit numbers to test. However, every time I start a new "process" it doesn't test the 100,000,000 digit numbers, but instead just double checks previous numbers. How do I fix this?

I'm not a guru on Prime95 but I think it first assigns double check work to prove your machine is stable. Anyway, someone will pop in to support you.

Oh, I think you may be on to something. I'm reading through the communication thread at the moment, and it says "Assigning a double-check for yearly hardware check." Thanks!
