Needing some help please :)

I can stop and start the project, but closing it gets me a new project when I restart it. What do I do when there is a need to restart the computer?

thanks

It is probably THE most annoying BUG / feature of the Seventeen or Bust project.

Meckano: Just a comment on your write up at clubplusnet that the abandoned test will eventually be redistributed to someone else. The SOB tests time-out after a certain period of time. I think it is 28 days but not sure of that. When they elapse they are available for someone else to do and get sent out then. This is the reason it is crucial to allow very slow computers to report blocks, so that they can shake hands with the SOB server to show the test is still being run and has not fallen by the wayside in cyberspace.

Also there are 1 or 2 typos but a spell check should locate them. One I noticed was will being spelt "wil".

Oh, just I had read that Importance at the 17 site.
And that the project could be run offline; not needing often handshakes is how I took it.
True, now that I use free OpenOffice, I should be using spell check.

updates under way. tks.
