[vaughan]

Here is a link to the official Seventeenorbust forum where VJS explains how to attempt recovery when you lose a test:

Sure now that i've deleted all those penmding tests I thought I lost... :lol:

But that is excellent info. Thanks Vaughan.

Yes. Excellent to have a recovery plan.

I did not even know to check the # of pending tests. It seems that I have 2 (1 in progress + another)

After reading the notes...Sure enough there is another test file in the SB dir. and even better...my log file still has the n & k #'s for it. So I will have a head start in recovering it.....when I finally get the other test finished...
I'm still at 50.5% completed after 8.4 days. (2687 overall, 31 in the team)

I will start sving my pennies for a CPU upgrade and some more RAM. It seems my M/b can take upto an XP 2600. What will I do with myself ?!

Here is a cool tool that I found on the SOB forum about lost proth tests. It updates your registry so you don't have to. "Beware" It does edit your registry. Make sure you read the ReadMe.txt. I tested it and it worked great.

Here is a link to the forum. The download link is below the line.

As suggested by Mystwalker, I have made a tool for changing the registry entries in an easy way.
Download it here.

Download (http://home.online.no/~kenthro/regchng/regchng.zip)

The ZIP-file contains two files: RegChanger.exe and ReadMe.txt.
To run the tool, just open the ZIP-file and run it from there or run it from wherever you extracted the files.

Instruction on how to use it, is found in the ReadMe-file. There is also a small HowTo accessible from within the tool.

I've borrowed the instructions that vjs presented in an earlier post (Hope you don't mind, vjs )

Feedback is always nice, so please contact me at --> sceptic@team-norway.org <-- if you have any suggestions, bug reports, questions etc.. etc..

beer maybe you should try this on 17 seeing as you have just lost nearly 1 Terabyte of work.

i have had a similar problem and got a - 300,000 on my score, i have found the offending computer and found i got it as i sent in the last test and hit 100%- in the log i have the line
// Completed proth test () result 3.

i take it i havent lost the unit seeing as it was totally completed, why the minus on sending then ???

the thing is you havent done any work in the past 24hours either so i cant understand it.

There was a scoring problem. The problem has been resolved. What I have now is correct.

[Empty_5oul]

i see, shame you had to lose so much tho :( i was hoping you meant your score would go up not down lol.

[Beerknurd]

It's unfortunate, but I'll get it back up.
