Hey,

Im new to Prime95, and just finished a Lucas Lehmer testing about a couple of weeks ago, and Prime95 successfully reported the results to the server. After I got my second test, a week later, the power went off, and the program did nothing but idle afterwards. I just restarted the program and reentered the information (my name, email address, password) and then it started where it last left off. Now, the problem is: Prime95 has been working properly, but my last contact with the server was on March 18! In Prime95, I check the screen everyday, and I dont see any attempts to even contact the server (to update the end time, etc.)

Please Help

Go to the Options, then Preferences.
You will see Days between sending new end dates. The default is 28 days I believe. You could set it lower if you want.

You may also want to check under Test-->Primenet, and make sure you have "Use Primenet to get work and report results" checked.

My first post!

If you want to force Prime95 to contact the server, you can go to Test menu, choose Vacation or Holiday, and press OK. That tells Prime95 you are taking a vacation of 0 days, and makes it contact the server.

You can also open the advanced menu by going to pass word and typing in 9876 (i think). Then you can go to manual communication which will let you talk to the server.
