Correction of time stamp.ini

[coroman]

I have had Cumulus running successfully for several years with Fine offset WH 1090.

Recently, due to a hard disk problem, I removed the Cumulus program.

Now when I attempt to re install it a message appears:
"Windows does not recognise the format of the time setup in today.ini.
your system setting is dd/mm/yyyy. Cumulus waill now close."

The message appears over the Cumulus page which shows the correct time (in dd/mm/yyy format and the year and month are also correct.
Then when I click on the message the page also closes.

The time format is the same as I have been running for a long time.

So would appreciate any help in fixing this. Thank you.

Please zip up the diags folder and attach it to a reply in this thread, together with your today.ini file.

Thank you for your quick response.
For some reason, the error message has gone and I am now able to access the Cumulus program and reset the parameters.
Not sure what happened here!
However, I would appreciate some help in reloading earlier data which I have on my backup program.
Thanks and regards,

You will need to merge the data manually, with Cumulus stopped, using a text editor. If you merge just the lines from the monthly data logs, you can then use the editors in Cumulus to first create the missing dayfile.txt entries (or you can simply merge those as well) and then to rebuild the high/low records. Look at the help for the editors on the edit menu in Cumulus. There is also information in the FAQ and the wiki.
