SoB: Need some help with the registry

[SinfulWeeper]

I installed SoB in a celeron computer and it finished it's first assignment. When I exitted the client to restart the computer it did not write the work it did to the registry and tried fetching a new WU.
If somebody can take snapshots of their LhDn/sob settings, I think I can force it to restart the current y string that is alread in there instead of downloading a new block which would hurt my stats.

Thanks

As you can see I have a k&n value already and it is in my stats page. ( http://www.seventeenorbust.com/stats/users/user.mhtml?userID=2204 ), but is I plug it back into the network, it will grab a new k&n value and lower my stats, maybe even put me in the negatives again like in the past. I want to avoid that under all costs, but I need a screen shot of the registry so I can direct the client to use what is already in the program files\sob directory in the hard drive.

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Anybody?

Screen shots are relatively east... Alt+Prt Scr then paste in MS paint and post them or email me (email in my profile)

 

[DannyBoy]

dunno if this helps

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Right idea. But I am looking for it in the registry. Not the hard drive

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Maybe this will help.

Start->Run->"regedit"
Then goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LhDn\sob
I belive there are three folders in there. I am mainly interested in the cache folder, although the third missing folder in the computer might be important also.

hit that link again

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Thanks DannyBoy . Now if I can only figure out howto direct the k&n so that it continues on my y and z values

 

[SinfulWeeper]

:|... I messed up. I restarted the computer and it grabbed a new test. Looks like I may hurt the people in my 3-1 race

Many thanks for the help though

 

[Confused]

This seems to be a common problem...you have to restart after installing the client and entering your username, but before downloading a new test...otherwise it will lose work and get a new block

Not sure why this happens, it doesn't happen on all machines AFAIK, but on a few it does.
