Cumulus Newbee

[clyde66]

A couple of questions about Cumulus,
Since i dont know what i am doing, please be "mercifull". I am new to Cumulus, or to any other "self weather systems".

1. I have a HW1091 pro, wireless thingy.
2. Is there any way to "send" a picture of my Cumulus on screen display?
3. Windows 7 x64b is installed in my computer. It refuses to install the version 2 Cumulus. Error 2022.
4. Is it possible/allowable to modify the Cumulus display layout? If so , how?

Is that too many discussables?

2. Is there any way to "send" a picture of my Cumulus on screen display?

Where do you want to send it? To a web site? There's no automatic way of doing this, you would have to use some third-party software.

3. Windows 7 x64b is installed in my computer. It refuses to install the version 2 Cumulus. Error 2022.

I use Windows 7 x64, so it's not simply that. I'm afraid I don't know what error 2022 is; at what point does this occur? Is there any more information with the error?

4. Is it possible/allowable to modify the Cumulus display layout? If so , how?

No.

Hi

Steve has answered all of these, but on question 2 would you not be better having a website rather than trying to send a picture of your screen?

There are lots of good screen capturing tools out there but none that I am aware of can do automatic capturing and sending

[steve]

I think there's some 'other' software that allows this, which I guess is where the idea came from.

You could of course create a web page that looked like the Cumulus screen, and use web tags and/or realtime.txt to populate it. Didn't someone do something like this, a while back?

Hi.

The install of Cumulus 2, error occurs at about 70% and then the whole thing cancels/stops the installation.
I was wondering if it has anything to do with"administrator privilages" (which win7 is SO fond of ).


As for 'sending my cumulus screen', i thought it would be a fun way to get others interested in cumulus, by emailing the displayed picture. I have tried the 'print screen/paste' method but all i get is a black sheet.


Also i would like to send an early appology for any future miss spells or obscure wordings/frasings. I have a slight problem with MS. or as my grand daughter says 'poppy's body runs on Win7' )

Once you've given it permission to install, it should be OK after that. I'll see if I can find anything out about error 2022. Does it just say 'error 2022' and nothing else?

MWSnap is very good for this sort of thing - http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html

That's OK; I don't think we've ever had any spelling flames on here, and if anyone starts they'll get a kick up the backside from me. As long as I can get the drift of what you're saying, that's good enough for me.

Steve,

Have just tried to install Cumulus 2 'with administrator privilages'.
Message is now,

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package.
The error code is 2203."

Different code to the 'non admin attempt"

[steve]

Googling suggests that this is a permissions problem, possibly on a 'temp' folder, possibly [user]\AppData\Local\Temp

I was having issues similar to this and it was my anti-virus software. I had to remove it - sleep mode did not work. I am using MS Security Essentials and have no further issues. I run Win 7 64 bit. I also had the same issues with my Davis Instruments SW as well. Hope that helps,

Scott

Grrrrrrrrr

I think i might try with Defender off as well.

Even attempted to install in safe mode. Windows refused to to anything at all.


There is a sledge hammer around here somewhere!!

If you want to capture the screen or even send it via email you can simply use the Windows 7 rather nifty little 'Snipping Tool' .... as I have done so here.

See attatchment:
