Weather.exe Application error

[Martin]

I have had this happen six or seven times now weather diplay just locks up or just switches it self of with this error ( the exception unknown software exception (0x0eedfade) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812afb. also it has made the computer restart itself, this seems to have started after the new year started.
this running on a XP pro Weather display 10.37p build 20

do you have a USB data logger?
a few people have reported a lock up problem since build 16 or so
there are unfortunatly different threads on that, so its hard to know who to work with on that issue

[Martin]

Yes it work off a usb data logger I have running on windows 7 now and it seems OK been running all of today no lockups.
It was running on xp pro OK but that computer gave up the ghost so built a new computer same xp pro ( have two computers one windows 7 one xp pro) the xp pro only runs the weather station and thats all.

make sure you have the latest silabs driver for the USB data logger
also try build 21 .zip update

Hi windy I think I found out the problem its when you use screensave, I had it running on xp this morning from 09.00 till 13.00 when I put the screensaver on and went out, when I came home about 16.00 and found that WD had crashed when I started WD again it downloaded from the weather station from around 13.00 and that is when it went on to screensave?. It also has lost all the previous data for that day.

screen savers have known to cause problems, especially for the tide32.exe program

[Martin]

It crash again today it seems that it runs for about four hours and then crash, I do not have this running 24/7. Could this be that it was running on window 7 computer and I moved it to a windows XP Pro computer ??. I Have the latest update.

Also check that there are no other power saving settings enabled, like powering down the disk or USB, slowing the CPU/memory, etc. any of those things will cause a problem for a program like WD that is continually collecting and storing data.

[Weather Display]

are you using build 21?
do you have a usb data logger?

[Martin]

I have build 21 and a data logger and do not run power saving.
Windy see personal message.

Update WD stopped working at 13.46 just after it had updated the rainfall.
Just got back in and found WD had crash again at 18.00.
It seems like every four hours.
Sunday crashed 13.30 and again 17.30

I uninstalled Weatherlink and the USB data logger software and reinstalled with fresh downloaded copy's and latest updates, I did not reinstall WD it is Ver 10.37P build 21.
Started WD at 10.30 on Tuesday it run till 08.30 on Wensday when it stopped working, no screensaver only the monitor turn off and that was the only program running.

Thursday WD ran all day from 09.00 to 23.00 may have sorted it out......
