WD SHUTSDOWN AFTER UPGRADING FROM LA CROSSE TO DAVIS VP

[far_ken_beauty]

Hi,
I just upgraded me La Crosse WS2300 to a DAVIS VP. It is all setup and working how it should in WD with the USB logger however....I have had the Davis VP in operation for 3 days and on each of these days WD has shutdown for some reason. It has happened at 3 different times. There is nothing in the system event log or the WD log. I upgrade to the latest WD and still no good.
I noticed that my website was not updating so I jumped on the server (WIN2K3) and thats when I noticed that WD was not running. I had no problems with this for the La Crosse station.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

is it doing it at a certain time each time?
any errors in the file programerrorlog.txt (where wd is installed)?
do you like the VP?

[far_ken_beauty]

yes there is...as pasted below.
these errors date right back ...the resetting rain daily value and resetting wind/temp ones in bold.
However the tell tail is probably in the errors below that.

are you running any antivirus software, like avg?
i see the last few days have been ok?
(i.e those errors were a few days ago now)

[far_ken_beauty]

Running norton antivirus corporate 9...have been running this since the start with the la crosse. Could it be the drivers for the usb data logger maybe? The Davis was intalled on the 29th.

[Weather Display]

a usb driver problem would stop the data flow....but not shut down wd..I would not think..
i recommend to people to get the serial davis data logger, and then a USB to serial converter if no serial ports available on the pc

[far_ken_beauty]

hmmmm sooooooooooooooo yeah?
What is this error?
Resetting rain daily value , day: 3
Above error or program log occured at :0:00:00 03/04/05
Resetting wind/temperature daily value , day: 3
Above error or program log occured at :0:01:00 03/04/05

But any more ideas on the WD shutdown?

[Weather Display]

those are not errors, but program event logs to say that the daily reset has occured
i.e they are normal.
if i removed that event log i am sure I would get complaints about them not being there any more 

[far_ken_beauty]

hahaha yeah ok great u just can't win sometimes  ...hmmm the only other thing was that I installed a windows update 'update' that automatically updates all critical updates when available...might give it the heave ho and see how it goes.

[Weather Display]

see if there is a pattern,..i.e always the same time...

[far_ken_beauty]

yeah trying to work out a bit of a pattern but so far all over the place which is not helping.

[far_ken_beauty]

just a quick note to mention that your dailylogout file needs a bit of work in 10.26t...all over the shop 
www.rainhailorshine.info/dailylogout.html

[Weather Display]

for that, zip and email me your log file, dailylog.txt

[far_ken_beauty]

on the way...done.

[Weather Display]

ohhhhh
thats a bug thats going to be there until the 10th of the month 
uploading 10.26v zip now to fix that
it should be ready to download in less than an hour
