| Setispy and SetiDriver setup, in pictures Topaz's thread gave me this idea to start a new post with my SetiSpy and SetiDriver setup which work great together, with pictures. Sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words  This is to help everyone having problems setting them up, as well as encourage those who haven't yet downloaded and set them up, but want to.
********************
1: Put SetiSpy.exe and SetiDriver.exe in your Seti@home folder, alongside your Seti@home CLI.
2. Click on Setipspy to open it. An error message may appear:
SETI Spy cannot access the "C:\S@H\state.sah".
Click ignore. Then click on Client on the left to highlight it. Click on Configure.
3. Note that the client on Setispy is "Seti Driver.exe"
Also note the dash in front of "-SETISpy", without spaces, and the window title "SETI Driver" with the space. Put a check mark in the boxes circled in red.
4. Click on "Setup" on the left and and then select "Display" at the top. Check the underlined boxes.
5. Now select "Client" at the top, and check the box underlined.
6. Click on Setidriver.exe to open it. Enter a desired cache size (such as 10). Now put a check mark where the red arrows point. Don't forget "use setispy". You may put a check mark in "use setidriver for progress" too, but it is redundant, as you see below when you hover your pointer cursor over Setispy in the taskbar, it shows the progress. No need to open SD or SS. Now Click on "Save Config".
7. Put Setispy shortcut into your startup folder.
With this setup, when you start Setispy, it will start SetiDriver which in turn will run the Seti CLI hidden. When you exit Setispy from the taskbar, it will also exit SetiDriver and Seti CLI. Remember to exit Setispy before rebooting your computer, so that the CLI will not hang the reboot.
With the "auto-transmit" box checked in SetiDriver, you don't have to worry about transmission from CLI. If Seti Server is down, SD's icon will turn green until it has a successful transmit of completed WU, but keep on crunching the next WU in line. When it has had a connection and finished transmitting and refilling its caches, it will turn blue again. There's no need to worry and try to transmit, as Seti@home servers are often down for a while. SetiDriver has it all under control.
This setup will get you started on a good foot, but you can experiment with other Setispy settings and its features when you're ready to explore it more.
