I have had trouble keeping my VWS running smoothly for long periods of time (a week?) without a manual
computer reboot (it won't let me 'restart' or 'power down' the computer). I have to force the computer
down (holding the computer power button), then start it back up (using the computer power button).
Rebooting DOES fix my VP problems, and it fine for a while (a week?) then it all freezes again!
Within VWS, in the program settings, there is a 'reboot schedule'. Whenever I turn this on, I have even
MORE problems with VWS 'freezing' (every day or two). I DO have the 'restart program if communication lost
for 5 minutes (it does not seem to work). So, I try to set up a 'reboot schedule' within the program
settings. I have tried both 'interval' and 'scheduled times'. It works SOME of the time, but every couple
of days, my computer freezes again. Most often I get the message 'cannot communicate...' message.
Other times, my computer just freezes.
I am running VWS on an XP computer service pack 3. VWS is version 14.01 p35. I am not using VWS for the
jpg updates to the internet server... I use FLING version 2.21. I also use Weather Link version 5.9.2 .I
use COM3 on a NETMOS serial port, which I have 'enabled'.
