Default Can't get PauseWhileRunning to work

After upgrading to 29.3 I decided to finally give the 'PauseWhileRunning' parameter a try and cannot get it to function properly.

I'm on win 7 x64, logged in as admin with UAC disabled. I closed prime95.exe, added PauseWhileRunning=wow[n2] at the end of the prime.txt file and then ran prime95 again. I want to pause two threads while running world of warcraft which runs as my admin account as proceess 'Wow-64.exe'. I've tried various forms of capitalization and numbers all to no avail including: PauseWhileRunning=Wow[n2], PauseWhileRunning=64[n2], & PauseWhileRunning=Wow064.exe[n2].

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

From the documentation, I think [n1] and [n2] represent the number of threads you would want to pause for 'program1' and 'program2', etc, but need to be specific numbers.

Have you tried [2] instead of [n2] to indicate 2 threads should pause?

n1, n2, etc.. are supposed to be numbers. So just wow[2] is sufficient. It looks to see if the given string is part of the program name, so no need for exact match either.
