How to run Prime95 on a computer without internet via USB

1. Using the computer with the available internet connection, Download Prime95 as a ZIP file and extract it to a folder on your removable USB drive.
2. Put the USB into the computer without internet, and load Prime95 for the first time. Set it up with your details etc, and specific settings. You will get communication errors because it’s trying to contact the internet. Ignore this.
3. Under Advanced, select Password. Enter the Password 9876 to enable the Advanced menu items you can’t currently access.
4. Under Advanced, select Manual Communication. Select the option so that it won’t try to automatically contact the PrimeNet server (deselect all options).
5. Take the USB to the computer with the internet, load it, and let it contact the PrimeNet server to retrieve jobs. It may be a good idea to retrieve a large number of days work at a time, so that you don’t need to update PrimeNet too often by taking it back to the computer with the internet connection. Unfortuantely it will update your CPU settings when you load Prime95 on the computer with the internet, but all this will affect is the statistics, it’s not too critical.
6. Close Prime95 and take it back to your computer without internet. Load it again, and run Prime95!
7. Whenever you would like to update the statistics, simply repeat steps 5 and 6.
