WL 5.9.3/Windows Update
« on: April 14, 2015, 09:12:26 PM »
Just downloaded the latest updates for Vista and now WL will not open. There is a restore point to use but am running with Cumulus at the moment.
Just curious if any one else experienced this. By not opening I mean the program will start but when I click the bulletin or the strip charts it just says not responding and does nothing.

Latest update is 6.0.3, isn't it?

6.0.3 for WL yes, but I've always had problems with it so I went back to 5.9.3.

I have WL v6.0.3 running on Vista with current updates and no issues.  But I just use it as a station monitor, not running any uploads from it.  Update history log shows Vista installed 8 updates 4/15.

If you have not already might go into WeatherLink and do a repair or reinstall.

I just replaced a computer running Vista. This operating system is dying, you are just seeing another problem with it. While I did not use Weatherlink on it (I have a dedicated Windows 7 computer for Weatherlink), several other problems with other programs caused me to replace Vista.
Davis VP2 with SHT31 (3 complete VP2 systems—2 with a daytime fan and 1 that has a 24 hour fan); CWOP--CW5020, FW3075 and FW4350; WU--KILWHEAT17, KILWHEAT36 and KILWHEAT39; WeatherCloud.net; CoCoRaHS--IL-DP-132; and Weatherlink 2.0
