Yup, it's the same. The Res64 is what's important there... it's the residue
left over after the final iteration (just the last 64 bits worth anyway...)
The WW1 is part of Scott's security check, just to make sure it's not been
falsely generated or some such. I assume part of it is related to the date,
time, or some other such thing which is why there's one part that's
different?
If you want to delay Prime95 starting up... hmm...not sure why you'd want to
do that, but...
Perhaps instead of having it run as a service, you could just put it in your
startup group so it doesn't run until you logon.
Or, make a batch file and use the SLEEP.EXE program (well, I know it comes
with the NT Resource Kit, and there's something similar for Win9x as well)
that'll wait for 60 seconds and then launch prime95. That can be setup in
the "runservices" key so it starts when the system boots.
