If you meant Cornbread (Speedguide.net Team) then you are right. You have to many E's in the one you listed. You might want to consider installing the Clent version instead of the Screensaver version and then disable it when playing games. When I setup my Delta Force 2 Server on the weekends for a few hours. I usually will disable FAH, and when I am done with the game. I reboot the PC.

No you shouldn't have both the client and the Screensaver running at the same time. Just run the Client version and you should be set.

You need to complete a whole work unit before you will be added to the stats page. depending on the unit you get. It will usually take about 2-2 1/2 hours to complete a unit. Give it a day of running and then check your stats.

You can check the DOS box when it first starts up to see if you have your name correct.


Do you plan on running it 24/7?

thanks DIDS, your helping me understand it better. 24/7, i don't know, if so, should i just turn my monitor off?

DIDS

You can turn your monitor off or use your Power Mangament options in Control Panel(Power Management is the best way IMHO). If you do run it 24/7, make sure you have a firewall running.
