Send George a PM or email. His email address is one of the graphics that are available. :woltman:

It's also in the top of readme.txt

Or you can PM him on the forum, username Prime95.

Not sure if this has been reported yet but this version of Prime95 seems to have the same problem that some apps/programs have on 4k monitors. The text is exceedingly small. I am restarting the computer to see if things get fixed but I have attached what the program looks like right now.

Restarting my computer didn't fix the text size for me.

I found another very minor bug. When I installed the new version of Prime95 into the same old folder that had the previous version of Prime95 (28.6), it got a new PRP assignment despite the fact that I am currently in the last few days of a current 100M digit PRP assignment and already have my next 100M digit PRP assignment on deck. That means I got a PRP assignment despite having a half year's worth of work.

I can only speculate on the exact reason why this could possibly happen. (I pasted the new .exe file but didn't paste the new .dll files? Maybe the sequence in which certain checks can be done caused this to happen?)

It's not the 4K that causes the problem, it's the Windows scaling that does not get recognized by Prime95. Yes, if you have set the magnification exceedingly high, it looks like the text is tiny.

Are you sure that you did not just get a Cert assignment? That should not last more than an hour or 3, depending on your machine.

I don't think so. Here is the assignment:

Code:

PRP=AID EXPUNGED,1,2,332316059,-1,79,0,3,

DON'T post AIDs for current assignments!
Don't make pointless work for moderators to remove what should not be posted.

I have a computer running mprime 30.3 b6 that today finished PRP on exponent 100362923. It experienced 5 Gerbicz/double-check errors during the run but always said confidence in final result is excellent so I did not start over. All of the errors happened at about 50% and all in the period of a few hour time. I just checked https://www.mersenne.org/report_expo...0362923&full=1 and discovered that the result is suspect, two people tried to do a cert and now it has been assigned to someone else to do a PRP.

I am curious, was the PRP bad, did the cert fail? The computer is currently working on 100495651. Should I stop it if it starts with Gerbicz/double-check errors again or just let it keep going?

I think the problem is the memory because the two sticks were in a different computer that had a bad LL-D result about this time last year. Over the last year, whatever computer this memory is in has errors about once every 3-4 months.

I bet that the PRP test is good, and only the .proof-file you uploaded are bad.
