I've uploaded a new build (482) (I think I should have said 480 last time) as a quick attempt at fixing the problem I introduced last time. If this doesn't help, I'll have a longer look at it tomorrow.

Just to add I find the same as most of the above. Don't recall ever seeing a progress bar, maybe early days, and sometimes hangs, sometimes only displays zeros in data boxes. BUT none have ever really caused a problem - just shut down Cumulus and start up again and all is well.

Phil, do mean at startup when the 'please wait' screen is displayed? It crashes if you click where? On the Cumulus main window? Do you have the bug report file?

Hi Steve,

Your hastily revised last version of Sunday worked fine when C had not been off for long, but when I tried it after 16 hours of being off - it simply locked up. So I have just installed your 483.

The progress bar now works, it loads the data in very quickly and no lockups so far.

Hi Steve. yes, the prog can lock if I inadvertently click on the page, anywhere it seems.

I do try not to do it now haha.

Will send log asap but main PC off at present so not for couple of days.

I disable the main screen - supposedly - while it's doing the initial download, to stop any funny business. You are clearly too cunning and have defeated my defences.
