Can't Install F@H As Service

Post by geokilla »

I tried installing F@H on my cousin's laptop just now, and I'm using the console based version. F@H recently released newer versions, version 6 and now I can't seem to install it as a service on the laptop. I checked Windows, and it says that my cousin's account is Administrator, so I should be able to install it as a service with no problems. Anyone know what to do here?

I haven't looked to heavily into it, as I just got my stuff back up and running, but I have to manually start mine as well. I tried adding a shortcut to startup, and that totally wigged the client.

Post up if you find more info, and I'll do the same.

If you add in, -service, does that work for you? I can't do it on my cousin's laptop since he's using it atm.

Also, I can't add a shortcut because knowing my cousin, he'll forget about it, and he's not good with computers so I want to try and make it as simple as possible.

Sorry, I only half read your post. I didn't realize that was on the console version. I'll give it a shot tomorrow after work on my son's machine and let you know.

Is he using the newest console version? On my current AMD rig, i'm using the 5.XX version and all is well so far.

Anyone else got an idea on what to do?
