at work lately i've been trying to set up a dual-P4 win2k
system with prime95. but when it boots only one of the
prime95 starts up when i log in. both are set for start at
bootup each with cpu-affinity hard-coded.
I'm guessing you've installed prime95 twice in two different
Aaron directories.
yes George that is what i did.
If so, what is happening is both are trying to use the service
name Prime95 Service and overwriting each other.
Try turning off Start at Bootup on both. Edit one of the
local.ini files and add ServiceName=Prime95 Service #2. Turn
on Start at bootup on both.
acknowledged. i will do that when i get the machine back from our
admin folks, they are reimaging it with our corporate win2k for a
third time...
If you run the second prime95 from the same directory with the
-A1 command line argument, then you shouldn't have this
trouble.
i think as Aaron points out that i'm not able to adjust an autoexec
sort of startup command line to have the -A1 since i do not have
admin access.
Aaron However, if you don't have admin access on the Win2K
Aaron system, it won't be able to write to the registry locations
Aaron to autostart it at bootup.
Aaron Your best bet then is just put it in your startup group and
Aaron NOT check start at bootup. Of course then it only runs
Aaron when you're logged on...
hmm. i thought that was always the case. that is, prime95 does not
run if i am logged in to the win2k machine. generally that's ok since
i stay logged in for months at at ime.
thanks,

Aaron Just one of those things... WinNT/2K is designed that way,
Aaron with security in mind, so along with that come limitations
Aaron to what non-admins can do, and installing services or
Aaron modifying some registry locations are part of it.
