I put the Weatherlink 5.8.1 upgrade on and every time I download data from the station I get a Unable to create backup log file error.

I worked out what the problem was.

In Windows Vista, Weatherlink needs to be run as Administrator. When I put the upgrade on I forgot to do that.

Thanks for posting that.  I'm sure sooner or later someone else will run into that problem and it will help them.   :grin:

I think a lot of "pre-Vista" software needs to be run in Admin mode on a Vista computer... all that wonderful security stuff to protect us...
