Got a couple of questions but first off I have to set the scene. I joined MDWS and set up DSLstats, with the key and ticked all the right boxes, yesterday and everything seemed to be uploading and recording just fine. Anyway, I left my PC on overnight so that it could upload at least 24 hours worth of data but having gone to bed and then getting up this morning, I found my PC had crashed at around 1 am. I restarted but discovered that, obviously, MDWS hadn't been recording any data since the time of the crash. I started DSLstats but all the configuration details appeared to have reset and I couldn't input my key into the box and therefore couldn't upload any data.
Now I've solved that issue simply by restarting my PC (
) and restarting DSLstats and I have a green box instead of a yellow one on MDWS. So, having told the back story, my questions are:
1) Is there an option in DSLstats to autostart the program on boot up (can't see one) - if not is there another way I can do that (perhaps by simply adding the .exe file to the start-up folder, can't do it via task manager)?
2) Do I have to input the validation key every time I start DSLstats in order to upload to MDWS?
Hope the questions make sense - remember that I'm new to this.
Ooh, forgot one:
3) What is vectoring? My MDWS page says it's not enabled - should it be and what's the advantage of doing so?
