Internet explorer hangs when using Cumulus

Post by Stenhuset »

Hi. I´ve got a problem. Once and a while Cumulus stops sending data to my homepage.
I have found out that Internet explorer stops working too. I can ping all my computers in my network and I can ping the comuter on wich Cumulus is running. When I close Cumulus I sometimes get an error, sometimes not. Whe i restart the application Internet exploer works again and my homepage gets updated. I have saved the report. See attachment.
Can someone please help me understand what´s going on.

You're using an old version of Cumulus which is no longer supported. The first thing to try would be to install version 1.9.1.

hi guys.

IE 8 was a problem every now and then but IE9 is a real pain.

I am getting constant random crashees in Windows7/IE9.

No such issues with Gogle Chrome - Ever !!!!

another example is Met Office WOW. Chrome loads the graphs fine, nothing in IE9

WOW works fine in IE9 for me. Sounds like a Windows reinstall may be in order?
