Control Panel Icons do not Respond

the situation has improved for me
now taking 12 hours for the problem to show up instead of 1.5 hours
so I am on the right track with the changes I have made
will be interesting to see how others go

I just upped to 276 and am having the same issue.

Some of the icons just stopped working.

The Setup>Advanced Misc settings will not come up now either.

which version were you using before?
you will probably see an error under view, program event log

the more information you can provide the better

went from 252 to 275

Just restarted it.
nothing in the event log

icons working now.
I will try again in a few minutes.

The wind speed gauge also flashes in and out–weird.

Had a lot of other issues after installation that were compounded by school. I decided to restart my computer-that was the wrong thing to do

  1. VVP lost my registration number. I cannot find it in my materials
  2. Tried to reinstall WD252-then the computer said i needed to be logged in as administrator to do that.- AArgh

I just need to limp everything along for a while till I get a new computer later this summer.

did you keep a copy of build 252 to go back to until I get this particular problem fixed (which seems to only affect certain setups (e.g low spec pc…not much memory …etc)

I have one—but–after the computer restart the computer will not let me reinstall it.

Brian mine is error free for 4 hours now, longest time in a while.

after the computer restart the computer will not let me reinstall it.
how do you mean by that exactly? what error message?

@jpmorgan49
sounds like progress

I was going to reinstall 252. But there is now an access issue on our end.

I am not allowed to install a program because I am not a network administrator. Not the fault of WD.

re the original problem of this thread
there is still something in the code that is not right
but I am getting closer to finding the problem area of code
(its like circling a drain)
it takes 2.5 hours on my setup for an error to show up, so I make a change, then wait
(but I now know the block of code where the problem is…I will get there : ) )

having said that, the current version I have running in testing is not producing any errors after 5 hours …so far

Brian,
257 went almost 10 hours before error. I started at 1431 hrs and it I received an at 2354 hrs. Do you think the error time, 2354 is significant? I’ve restarted this morning and see what happens.

Brian,
On latest zip my error log has something new:
“Above error or program log occured at :7:45 06/17/15
ERROR: Access violation at address 004D85EC in module ‘WeatherDisplay.exe’. Read of address 33373240 System.SysUtils System.SysUtils at time/date 7:49”

Don’t know if it means anything.
Tom

Brian,
This was my very first error:
Access violation at address 004D85EC in module ‘weatherdisplay.exe’. Read of address 4C83431D
Above error or program log occured at :23:54 06/16/15

I had several others but about 5 hours later I got several of these:
ERROR: Access violation at address 00000000 in module ‘weatherdisplay.exe’. Read of address 00000000 System.SysUtils System.SysUtils at time/date 5:07 am 06/17/15

Access violation at address 004D85EC
that is the hard to find one

I did eventually get it here some time overnight
so its now taking alot longer before it happens
I am narrowing down more and more where in the code the problem is
it could be the customclientraw update
will know more soon

Brian,
As I said in my previous post I received errors at 2354 hrs. yesterday evening after about 10 hrs. of error free running. I restarted WD at 0509 hrs. this morning and it’s been running fine ever since (It’s now 2023 hrs.) I have a funny feeling I’ll get my first error at 2354 this evening. I’ll let you know tomorrow because that’s way past my bedtime. :slight_smile:

let me know either way :slight_smile:

Brian,
My prediction was correct, the icons locked at 2354hrs. with this error:

Access violation at address 004D85EC in module ‘weatherdisplay.exe’. Read of address 4C83431D
Above error or program log occured at :23:54 06/16/15

I believe that means I could run 24 hrs. before lockup. The strange thing is that in the past when the icons locked up before midnight my month report was never generated or uploaded but today it was, strange but good. It did not update yesterday with the same beta version. Is there something I’m doing at 2354 hrs. that’s causing the problem? Thanks.

I think I might know whats wrong
at least for my ongoing problem
and hopefully have fixed it
latest .zip update…(normal download)
will know over night :slight_smile:

@jpmorgan49
I will check what occurs at that time

I am going to school this morning. I will install the latest download then.

And again, Thanks for putting up with all of us.

Just an update Brian. I’ve checked to see what I have that’s created at 2354 hrs. under customize internet and file creation, they are as follows:

File #2 Graph File created at 2354 and every 15 minutes
File #11 Curr. 24/48/72 hr Graph created at 2354 and every 15 minutes
File #12 dirplot created at 2354 and every 15 minutes

These are all created at 2354 but they’re also created every 15 minutes so that may cancel theses out. I can turn all of them off tonight sometime before midnight and see if it makes a difference.
