Thanks

Installed but revert to "a" as lefthand client pane starts almost minimised & resize only works until restart. Bug reported.

Have you tried trashing the config file? That might help, as I know a fresh installation doesn't do this.

That's done the trick. Save the benchmark file & it restored OK. Thanks for your help.

Can I ask what you guys use in FahMon for the "Calculate PPD based on..."? I'm currently using last 3 frames but the difference is a good 200-300 on some of the settings. I know its only a guide but it would be interesting to see what other people are using

Snapshot · 21 Apr 2008 at 06:55

I use 'last 3 frames' too.

PhillyDee · 21 Apr 2008 at 07:54

Last 3 frames here. I find its the most reliable for the 'current' WU.

Pilgrim57 · 21 Apr 2008 at 10:56

Last 3 frames because if I do anything it often slows down for a few frames & that effects the average quite a bit. I'm interested to know when a WU will finish so that I can turn off the VM & have some fun.

I've found that I can only run FahMon as an Administrator on Vista Ultimate 64.

Installer worked perfectly I but get a couple of error messages if I try and run it normally, dunno if anyone else has had this problem

Cob · 27 Apr 2008 at 22:32

I just use the .zip file version on x64 Vista.

uncle_fungus · 28 Apr 2008 at 06:32

Thanks to Vista's locking down of "Program Files", FahMon won't work if you use the default install directory from the installer. I'll try and fix this for future releases by storing the config data etc. in a standard folder, much like the new style FAH clients do now.

oceaness · 30 Apr 2008 at 09:23

I used the default directory of "Program Files (x86)". It works perfectly, I've just had to set fahmon.exe compatibility to "Run this program as an administrator".

Does "Program Files (x86)" differ from native 32bit "Program Files"?

Just shout if you need any more info like the messages it produces if I try and run it without the admin privileges

uncle_fungus · 30 Apr 2008 at 15:02

No, it's just that Vista doesn't like programs creating their own files inside of program files. That's the reason the 5.9x SMP client throws fits if you install it to program files, as Vista won't let it save the FahCore.
You can "fix" this by running as administrator, but thats a workaround rather than a solution.

With FahMon, its likely that Vista won't let you create its configuration files if you don't give it admin privileges.

Installed and working nicely on XP Pro. Thanks, uncle

I just meant FahMon works perfectly

It's Vista thats broken and needs fixing
