I'm running HW Beta 2.0 on a an XP machine current updates through late Nov 09. It's been running nearly continuously since Nov 21, 09. I'm also running a webcam. The weather updates once an hour, the camera every two hours, all by dial up, as this is at a remote cabin.
A month ago, I got a Heavy Weather error that basically paralyzed the machine:
The instruction "0x10003d70" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate program
My wife was there a week later to shut down and re-start the computer. It ran for a couple of hours before the error made its appearance again. A Week later, I was back, uninstalled the HW, ran a defrag and clean disk, reinstalled HW, and hoped for the best.
The system ran fine for a week, and Sunday the error was back. I was up there today and un-installed the HW again. I am taking the weather station off line until I can resolve this- Any one have any ideas?
The frustrating thing is that it basically locks up the computer until someone can get there and shut the computer down. I have scheduled Windows restarts twice a day (through VWS) and am going to add a Windows based re start, but even periodic re-starts don't seem to prevent it from happening, and merely shutting down the computer manually and re-starting it manually doesn't "fix" it.
