as above, I do not have that problem so far. I think one of the issues on the console is that the AC power cord is so darned close to the data cable, it is thin enough not to have adequate shielding as doesthe brief space between the data logger usb connection and the data cable connection. Definitely both need adequate shielding. I am not sure why Davis doesn’t connect the long cable right to the datalogger rather than have a connector as it does.
I did some looking around about the random crashes with Vista … it is something adherent to Vista’s architecture that Microsoft needs to sort out. I see an error that something was trying to shut down and the system froze. Not much more information in the data logs what was because a hard reboot is needed and that stuff doesn’t get saved.
Sigh…
