ERROR: Invalid floating point operation at time/date

[WanetaLake]

On April 27th at midnight my 10.10m crashed.  I was out of town, I returned, cleared the weather station's memory, cleaned invalid data from the log files, updated to 10.10t.

The error occurs every minute on the minute.   I cannot make it stop.

Any ideas.   I'm sure it is curropt data somewhere.

try:
exit wd, then delete the datafile (s) latest.inf, or latestindoor.inf, or graphdata.inf or graphdata2.inf or graphdata3.inf
then restart wd

[WanetaLake]

That Worked.  Thank You.
I deleted all the .inf files you suggested.
It is hard to maintain my site while traveling.

My remote system crashed and now gives the floating point error when restarted. I did as suggested above but it doesn't solve the problem. Now what  

[Weather Display]

try:
action, convert wd log files to graphs

then choose the file 62004lg.txt
then click on convert

then restart wd
let me know...

[niko]

Sorry, that didn't fix it.

ohhh
now, can you zip and email me the files that its most likely to be, so i can try and fix/duplicate here:
wdisplay.ini from c:\windows or c:\winnt
datafiles:
latest.inf
latestindoor.inf
latesttime.inf
month62004.inf
graphdata.inf
graphdata2.inf
graphdata3.inf
graphdata4.inf
24hourrain.inf
direction2.inf
monthextra62004.inf
monthextravp62004.inf  (that is a file you could try deleting)
fwi.inf

Thanks Brian, I'll do that tonight.

the other thing to try is:
install to a new directory, with a file called 2wd.txt there....in that directory...
then it should fire up ok, like brand new
then copy over the datafiles, one at a time, from the list above, until you find which one is the culprit (this will take a while though

[niko]

OK, I give the 2nd iteration a try. Is there anything obvious that I would see if I look in the data files?

Thank goodness for VNC remote access  

[Weather Display]

maybe any data files that are zero size
or any graphdata files that are big in size?

[niko]

Deleting the June files got rid of the divide by zero but the VP download wouldn't abort and always crashed WD. I installed in a new folder, that ran OK, copied over all the data files through May '04 and it's still OK. Now I'm trying to get the web stuff working as it was before and figuring out what I've lost  

[Weather Display]

also copy across all the web files from the web files folder...

did you back up those june files?
(if so, please zip and email to me)

sorry this happened!

[niko]

did you back up those june files?
(if so, please zip and email to me)

Done, I sent you all the files that had a June 2004 created or modified date, not sure if the dates come through the zip process.

sorry this happened!]

No sweat, Bill Gates never helped me when I had a problem with any of his sofware
