Right

I'm getting quite p1ssed off with this sodding application.

When I close it, or Windows reboots the PC, it never resumes from where it last stopped, even when paused then quit. No options in the config dialog seem to suggest this is possible. Using 5.03. Is it possible to make it resume or is this clearly lacking from the functionality?

I don't mind giving my processor to it, but this is wasting my processor time.

I had it yet again this morning; it got to 990/1000. I paused, 10mins later the icon disappeared from the systray and i had no way of resuming it.

Rant over, any helpers?

Run it as a service.

Much better.

Is it more stable?

Can you pause it like a regular service? Does it resume if the pc reboots?

TBH i've never really had to pause any of my WU's on the P4 that i use @ work, but like said above run it as a service, it seems to be far less hastle than the graphical client.

If i do have to reboot(rarely) then the machine i use (with Graphical client) always resumes where it had left off - sorry i cant be of any further help.

see this thread for the ins and outs of the console service(yes you can temp. stop this service)...

Great, thank you guys.

Will give it a go. Was going to try it, but I dont know why it never resumes from the same place when the application is exit/rerun. On any of the 4 machines!

I rarely reboot, but my home machines seems a touch unstable, and windows update kept rebooting two of the machines (turned off now). Occasionally need to pause it to give me more power for other things, and reboot the pc if I install some new work stuff.

Cheers, will post again if it's fixed it.

ok mate let us know if you still have probs, will try and sort it between us

Have you set it to save every 3 minutes? If its set to save only every few hours, it might not have saved after a reboot.

If it got to 990/1000 it may have completed that work unit? Even as a service, mine seems to stick at 100% for a few minutes before it kicks off a new one.

How, where?

How, where?

If you right click on the systray icon and bring up the configure, there's an option in there with a horizontal pointer you can move left to right. I can't remember what is says but its something like how often it remembers to save it. If you've never fiddled with it, I think the dafault is set to 10 minutes or something? While in there it would be worth turning down the "molecular draw" to minimum too - makes it less graphics intensive.

However if you install the service option, there is zero graphics usage.

As i've just done on one of the P4's @ work that have just had their upgrade...piece a cake it is too

Maximum setting is 30 minutes on the graphical version, so I'm not sure that would explain it?
