PC Data Collector

How do I start over without deleting my account?

I want to erase all of my data, but I don't want to delete my account.

I played a two hour game of Age of Empires yesterday, and it registered as 10 minutes. When I watch movies, RescueTime records maybe 5 minutes for each hour I watch.

I'm running the latest version on Windows XP.

Currently when a computer is locked, rescuetime stops logging (as expected).. But when coming back from unlocking the computer, rescuetime doesn't resume logging; it requires specifically re-enabling logging from the user.. Is there a setting to automatically re-enable the system, or is the manual method the only way??

hi
is there a way to use rescue time in 2 differente computers with the same email but with diferent information, in case 2 people using the computer at the same time?

How can I get web page level stats on Avant Browser? Why wont it work with Avant if Avant essentially registers like Internet Explorer?

Does the RescueTime app have to be running to collect the data?

Thanks!

I would like to use the rescuetime collector on a work machine.

While I have administrator access (so I could install it), I want it to log my regular user account (which is distinct from my administrator account).

Is it possible to install rescuetime for a non-administrator user?
What's the best way to do this?

Rescuetime tracked my time usage for a few days, and now says it has no data for me. I use firefox and have AVG spyware and Windows Defender active. I tagged many sites and that is also now lost.

How do you handle the MS Remote Desktop application? I can't seem to find this time reflected in Rescue Time.

My Rescure Time cannot connect and is showing the following message

5/7/2008 10:34:46 PM
Error 0800: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

5/7/2008 10:39:39 PM
Error 2900: The operation has timed out

5/7/2008 10:55:57 PM
Error 0800: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What sort of time scales does RT use to determine whether the user is active / idle? (i.e. after x minutes, it stops logging data, etc.) And, is this changeable?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 with Windows XP. The date always says 2005, even when I go into the Date/Time area and change it to 2008 and click Apply. It automatically keeps going back to 2005. The day and month are correct, it's just the year that's always 2005. Any suggestions? This is causing a lot of problems for my files which automatically pull the date from the computer. Thanks!

I received a message saying I had exceeded a goal (< 0.5hr per day on something) but the website says I have spent 3mins on it today. I'm not sure what is wrong!

Hi - Great product.

I have just opened a group to which I have invited a colleague. However, I have discovered that I can see the exact websites he is accessing, which is a big privacy issue, as I don't really want to know the details of his intimacy. How do I avoid seeing such detailed information, or such information being sent to other members of the group? I just want to share tags, really.

How can I separate the activity of different users on windows XP. When I am at work my wife uses the PC. I would like to be able to tell what is my activity and what is hers. I don't want them lumped together.

can i log on automatically at start up to the rescue time data collector

Hey Yall,
I was totally digging RescueTime until it started crashing on startup. As soon as I launch it i get the following .NET Framework Exception. Any ideas? Do I just need to delete the user.config file?

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system>
</system></configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

If I lock my computer with Windows-L (Or Ctrl-Alt-Del, Enter), does RescueTime notice this and stop tracking immediately, or does it still wait the two minutes for the idle time out?

Is there any way to turn off all logging from websites except requested websites? Theres some I would like to tag (such as Digg or my company website) but I really don't care about all the articles I visit from Digg or Reddit.
