Yes, I know; so do lots of users, and they don't have a problem. The problem occurs when the USER settings are not the same as the SYSTEM settings.
This is really important. I had to do a complete re install of Windows 7 after doing a complete computer overhaul that included a new mother board & CPU, so when I eventually got it all running again I had selected the wrong SYSTEM date format setting & Cumulus failed to show the main screen information for yesterday. I checked the "day text file" & sure enough the date format for 2 days was different to all the rest so I changed it there, but I also needed to change the yesterday.ini file as well & do a few date corrections after I had reset the SYSTEM date to what it was before.

One interesting note was that when I did the full re-install of Windows it had backed up my files into what they call Windows old, but the programs that were installed in the main C directory where Windows is stored & where both Cumulus & WeatherLink should be, all files were completely intact with no data lost. All I did was just re-install both programs into their existing directories mainly to be sure everything was correctly recognized by Windows. After running each program the latest data was downloaded from the weather station & everything was perfect, after I had done the above corrections of course.
