Problem starting/stopping Cumulus in Win 7

Post by Steve Thomas »

I've had a couple of problems - 1 on startup and 1 on shutdown. Bug reports attached. I'm not sure if this is the right place to upload these.

I am not great at reading these bug reports, and I am sure our Steve will come along in a minute and check this, however I notice that you are running EasyWeather. You should not be running it along side Cumulus. It may not be the cause of your crash, but best to close it down.

See the basic installation guide document here http://sandaysoft.com/downloads

Your station is referred to as a "Fine Offset" type in the notes.

I don't really have anything to add to what David has said. It's crashing reading the USB details for the station, and this may well be because you have Easyweather running. If you're using the 'Fine Offset' setting already, then you shouldn't be running EW at the same time. If you're using the 'easyweather.dat' setting, then I strongly recommend you switch to the 'Fine Offset' setting and don't run EW at the same time.
