Seventeen or Bust News

well installed it as a service got Unable to start client, Code = 5 no idea what i am doing wrong or if it just doesnt like XPx64 so i have gone back to running gui on one core on 4600 and 9600
ps
4600 (2.4ghz) runs @ 2565803 cEMs/s
9600 (2.3ghz) runs @ 4351665 cEMs/s

I found a similar error reference from a while back.
If you run the client manually and enter the config, is the "Start with windows" box ticked or unticked?
It should be unticked.
If it is ticked, then untick it, save the config, exit all sob clients & try to restart the service.
Let us know that goes, please.

Ooooh.
They have 11 days to rank#1 and no response from TPR yet!!!

Phew, thought you meant Phoenix Rising. Turns out we're down in the 400 or 500's

We're trying to keep our top 100 spot in Folding at home but it's quite hard with such a small team.

auto-start on windows boot has never been tick however i enabled auto start then saved, allowed one work unit to complete, dis enabled auto start and saved then exited SoB gui checked task manager for no sb.exe*32 and then reinstalled service, tried both services.msc and net start "seventeen or bust service" and still no joy

below is output from sobsvc -d
C:\Program Files (x86)\SB>sobsvc -d
CPU Affinity = Separate, 2 Clients
AutoRestart OFF
TrueIdle = FALSE
NormalizeXP = 40da34
Monitor and Restart = TRUE
Restart Stuck Clients = TRUE
Keep Icons Visible = TRUE
WU Queue Size = 0
Autodial Type = 0
Periodic Restart = 0

Interesting. Mine is slightly different.

D:\APPS\dc\sob1>sobsvc -d
CPU Affinity = Separate, 2 Clients
AutoRestart OFF
TrueIdle = FALSE
NormalizeXP = 40da34
Monitor and Restart = FALSE
Restart Stuck Clients = FALSE
Keep Icons Visible = FALSE
WU Queue Size = 0
Autodial Type = 0
Periodic Restart = 0

I think it is time to request the meaning of "Code = 5" from the project dudes.

While we watch and wait for more info on the error code, DD, may I suggest another exercise?

I'm not comfortable about the parentheses in your file path.
Can you try an install to a "normal" path?
You will see mine above has no spaces and no characters other than alpha-numeric in the folder names.
It's worth a try.

Monitor and Restart = FALSE sobsvc -m
Restart Stuck Clients = FALSE sobsvc -s
Keep Icons Visible = FALSE sobsvc -k

i used sobsvc -m and sobsvc -s thinking it might help resolve issue and sobsvc -k because i want an icon in task bar so i can see what is happening with sobsvc

just a though you have installed to a different dir i will give that a go

[Danish Dynamite]

well i guess we both have a good idea but no joy
output from cmd below

Install SOB into different directories, for example, 4 directories if you have 4 processors, and 2 direcories if you have 2 processors. Start the first agent, then the second. Go into the properties of the second agent, and change the first letter of your username to either uppercase or lowercase.
For example, if my name in the properties is Beerknurd, I would change it to beerknurd.
Do that for each new core on your machine. It will ask you if you want to clear the current block, just say yes. That one core will get a new block.

The only bad thing about it is, you have to let the block finish. If you exit SOB, it will not pick up the previous block. You have to keep SOB running. If you exit you will have to redo all of that and get totally new blocks.

Clear as mud???

[Danish Dynamite]

worked thank you

[Beerknurd]

That is the only way I know to do it... All I know is it works...
