Look in local.ini. There is an entry in there for Pid, which is the process ID of the mprime that last ran. What probably happened is that when you rebooted, another process was given the PID that mprime used to have, and when you try to start mprime, it sees a process running with that PID and refuses to run. Remove the Pid entry from local.ini, and all should be well. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
