Hi! I have been running the program for several years. About a year ago I had a problem on my WIN2K system - prime95 had problems reading the intermediate files when starting, renaming the backup file was also not succesful which ultimately means that prime 95 restarts the prime test on the number - thus loosing a lot of work!

[Mon Sep 16 09:46:39 2002] Iteration 1170000 / 15051427 [Mon Sep 16 10:08:32 2002] Iteration 1180000 / 15051427 This is all done silently - only the results files shows the problem. I solved the problem then by installing the NT-service. Now I'm running XP and I just discovered that the problem is back. I have checked and set permissions on the file and directories. I have checked the sourcecode - but did'nt get much wiser. I have made my own copies of the intermediate files, and manually cpoied them to the prime95 folder - this does'nt work today! Please help!
