SetiDriver keeps restarting ?

[tornspace]

I am using SetiDriver and the commandline exe on Win2K. Every time I turn off my machine, SetiDriver starts the current WU at 0% when I come back on.

Has anyone seen this and/or have some advice as to what may be happening? I really don't want to go back to running the screen saver version.

FYI, I use the system as the only user "Administrator" so it's most likely not a permissions issue. The only other piece of software I use is SetiSpy.

Make sure that SETIDRIVER is in the same folder as SETI.
Make sure that SETIDRIVER is configured the way you want it to, and click the SAVE CONFIG button.
Make sure that the SETIDRIVER shortcut in the Startup folder is pointing to the right folder and the work directory matches.

If those checkout ok, I'm not sure what the problem is. Before you turn off the PC, what % does SETIDRIVER show as completed?

What numbers does SETIDRIVER show for:
Processing
Waiting to Process
Needing to Fill
Ready to Transmit

I'm going to have to check the Working Directory (or "Start in:") in the shortcut, as that may be it. It should point to the directory where Seti3.03whatever.exe lives, correct?

Correct, and SETIDRIVER should be in the same folder as the SETI CLI client.

Welcome to the forums

Do you have "Use SETI Driver" or "Use SETI Spy" checked in the Progress Monitoring section?

I find that if I do not have those checked then the status shows 0% when you reboot, until you press "Update now"
