Windows xp

Hi,

I am trying, without much success to get a CLI version running on Windows
XP. Can anyone help?

Thanks

No probs here but I am using FAT32, though. Might be different if you
are using NTFS, but I am not sure about that; I know someone using XP,
NTFS with no probs. I *have* just had to lower my priority in
SETIDriver to low, cos it was hogging too many cycles (97%) when trying
to boot other stuff, causing them to hang/dawdle.

I have just spent 2 days getting rid of the ghastly, awful interface and
creepy phone home behaviour of XP.

The CLI version will not show you what it is doing. If you have a slow
processor it may not be making much progress but open up the state.sah file
eg with notebook and look at the "prog= "line which shows you the %
progress. Alternatively run with the the -verbose command line ie froM a dos
prompt "filename -verbose" and you get line by line progress.

I prefer the Setistash setup. This uses the SAME CLI program BUT provides an
interface to show you the progress of the units, it allows you to cache
units (since it is so fast :-)) and you can use seti watch to look at the
completed units.

You installed Windows 2000? ;-)

Hi,

I have downloaded the cli version and I typed in my e-mail address. Nothing
happened or so it appeared. Should I be able to see anything (if I want)
and should I seti monitor running at the same time? What do I do with the
screensaver version? I think what I basically need is an idiots
stpe-by-step instruction on this. I am not bad with computers but this
seems hard.

Thanks for your help so far and hopefully you can help further.

It wasn't the phone home behaviour that worried me when I first
installed XP but the number of people who were suddenly able to "phone"
me! Viruses and improper suggestions you wouldn't believe...
