Hmmm, I said to run as a service, but it didn't start auto-magically on reboot... I'm running the 5.04 console version.

I started it manually, and it seems to be working, but isn't it supposed to auto start on reboot?

Yes, it does, but you can't tell it's running as it doesn't have it's own window when run as a service.

Since you started it manually, you probably have two instances of it running, one in the background and one in a Dos command window.   Check for that by using task manager - right click on a blank spot on your Windows tool bar (it has the Start button on it at one end and the clock at the other), then on the pop-up menu, left click on task manager.  A new window opens with tabs at the top.  Left click on the second tab 'Processes' and scroll through the list and locate FAHconsole_504.  If there are 2, then you should just shutdown & restart. The one in the Dos window won't start up again.  Check the task manager again to make sure only one console is running.  You'll also see a FAHcore running, which is the part that actually does the crunching, so let it run.

If you'll download Egon's FAH monitor, you can keep track of your system (and any others you are running).  Check up-thread for the link to download it. (Search the page for Egon's name).

Hope this helps.
