This did not help.
Prime95 runs fine, "Start at Bootup" is checked,
but after rebooting no is running 
(The task manager shows CPU 99% System idle process)

In Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
I find an Entry  "Prime95 Service" sith Startup Type "Automatic";
Control Panel /  Administrative Tools / Event Viewer contains the message:

The Prime95 Service service failed to start due to the following error: 
Access is denied.  

Stating from "Servies" again gives

Error 5: Access is denied

Manually starting from the Windows Explorer works fine.

It seems that some W2K security mechanism is working against me.

Any ideas?

Mersenne: W2K service installation problems

[Helmut Zeisel]

I recently upgraded from WinNT to W2K and now want to install
the service version of mprime again.

Since I previously used ntprime, I tried  "ntprime -install".
This worked, but starting the service exits with 

Could not start the Prime Service service on Local Computer.
Error 5: Access is denied.

I have administrator rights, so this should not be the cause.

Anyway, I downloaded FireDaemon-Light-1_5-BRC1.exe and installed Prime95.
Starting FiredDaemonService: prime95 now exits with 

Could not start the FireDaemon Service: prime 95 service on Local Computer.
Error 1: Incorrect function.

Any hints what went wrong?

Helmut
