Don't understand why you are having to reboot. What happens if you just click the connect button?
What does the activity log show?
Well, I am getting closer! VVP shows it is communicating with VWS! VWS says it is connected to my "Vantage Pro" via COM7.
It says it has "never" communicated with WL but the box is green.
Should I now open WL with VWS running and "open the station" or whatever it needs to do?
I don't know why I had to reboot. The first time I tried to connect VWS, it was "establishing communication" with the "Vantage Pro" and encountered a problem. I then saw that VVP had crashed. I rebooted and got to where I am now. I was very pleased to see that VWS was displaying real time station data and had begun to download to WU, etc., like it used to do.
I think I surely am getting very close to having this work, thanks to your help, Mr. BDog.
