Yes I was, but should note I clobbered a previous version. I did check the file dates but who knows, maybe I missed something.

I tried to —restore a session and got the line 1820 error with a new installation. I specified the LWS and GWS with the restored session but for some reason it ran at 500p/s even so. I then restarted that session (as new) and while it did not seem, or output the results, to build the kernel (where is that?) it was very very fast to get going and I also regained previous speeds of +700p/s with my Nvidia card.
> Strange, it works for me (weak laptop GPU) with or without specifying LWS and/or GWS. What if you specify both, eg. "LWS=64 GWS=4096 ./john ...", are you still getting an error? You really shouldn’t
The above successful start was with these specifications, so no error.
