Blank screen while starting Cumulus b1032

Dear Steve,

This afternoon I get enough courage to upgrade my Cumulus setup from 1.9.2. build 1028 to 1032, unfortunately with catastrophic results; the b1032 start, apparently download the latest data available from the data logger and updated the web sites, but I only get a "blank screen" all the time.

Since I was unable to watch the Cumulus screen, I killed the task using the Windows Task Manager and start over again, with identical results.

I just reinstalled the b1028 again and everything is running OK as before. :bash:

Attached a zip file with the diagnostics.

What do you mean by a "blank screen" - can you show me a screen shot?

It looks like you were actually running build 1026 before, not 1028, so which build have you gone back to that's working properly?

I can't see any problems at all in the diags file, and no-one else has this problem, so I don't know what to suggest, sorry. The only thing I can think of is to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, and try restarting your PC.

Steve,

Sorry for confusing the builds numbers is really the 1026 as you pinpoint.

My last try have bad results, Cumulus starts, but the main screen freezes as show in the attached image. (Note the difference between the Cumulus clocks and the Windows Clock).

The only way to shutdown was killing the task from the Windows Task Manager.

I will try my luck again with the latest build, If my PC continues behaving on the same way, I will not longer upgrading Cumulus in this PC until I can find time to format the hard disk and reinstall all the software... :bash: (This PC is my main weather computer at home).
