I unistall and install again the program but always the some problem

[steve]

Your Windows date and/or time format setting has apparently changed, such that Windows no longer recognises the 'timestamp' value in today.ini as a valid date/time. Or perhaps you have an 'unusual' date/time format; this can cause Windows to write timestamps that it cannot then recognise itself when it reads them back in.

Thanks Steve for your answer
I use date time format for Greece and Greek
Is it possible to work with this format?
I clear the memory of wheather station
i made unistall the program and delete the cumulus folder
i made a clear new instalation of the program
it runs without problem
but when i close the program and start it again the program don't run and i have the some message

[kaparosg]

The problem is at this line
00436ddf > call -$2e6c8 ($40871c) ; System.@RaiseExcept
what is that?

It's the run time system raising an exception because your timestamp isn't a recognised format.

Please zip up the diags folder and attach it, together with your today.ini file.

Hello Steve
I upload the files
Thanks again

Timestamp=2/7/2014 12:34:01 µµ

My guess would be that the system routines cannot cope with converting the time with the Greek am/pm markers. I know that there are people in Greece using Cumulus, so perhaps they are using a 24-hour time format. If you want to try that, you will need to delete the contents of the data folder to remove any timestamps in the current format.

Many Thanks Steve
Now i use a 24-hour time format and i have not problem
It is OK now
Thanks George
