I think if you're going to release 5.6 this weekend you need to address the forum access problems. I have a hi-speed connection and it still takes a [u]minute[/u] to pull up.
It was real quick just now. Like the old days.
It must have been a short list. :icon_smile:

So how does one determine if the version they downloaded is the original 5.6.7 version or the Repacked 5.6.7 version?
You know, some sw distributators use the version number to distinquish one release from another. :icon_smile: The repacked version of WW could have been 5.6.7a. This approach would have automatically popped up msgs on the screens of those using the original 5.6.7 version informing them of the new updated release.
So how does one determine if the version they downloaded is the original 5.6.7 version or the Repacked 5.6.7 version?
The ww.exe file has a mod date of April 09, 10:03 on the original version and a mod date of April 10, 11:54AM on the fixed/repacked version. The setup file I downloaded on the 13th (12:19AM) was the original version. The one tonight is the fixed version.
Out with the new, in with the old
Out with the new, in with the old
Does the “old” include the changes to the Splendid Forecast’s Current.wtp file that were included with 5.6.8? Is the “old” the original 5.6.7 or is it 5.6.8 with 5.6.7’s ww.exe and dl.exe?
One solution to 5.6.8’s PNG wallpaper problem would be to have PNG files be an option on the Wallpaper tab. If someone wants to try them they select the option, if it doesn’t work they deselect it. The option could even have a caveat indicating it requires Active Desktop for older systems.

Your link references WW567SETUP.EXE not WW568aSETUP.EXE so it’s easy to conclude that it is indeed the old 5.6.7 setup rather than a revised 5.6.8.
EdP, it is Weather Watcher 5.6.7… just like the post says [:D]
And thus it does not include the Splendid wtp file updates that were in 5.6.8.
Why would you even ask those questions if you knew it was the Weather Watcher 5.6.7 setup? Very odd indeed.
Because you could have replaced the ww.exe and dl.exe files in 5.6.8 with the ones from 5.6.7 and then named it all 5.6.7, again. There were two versions of 5.6.7 if you recall so seeing yet a third would not be unexpected. :icon_smile:
How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
So basically you’re saying that if you intend to replace the ROM it’s better to do a Custom Backup? Or after you do a ROM upgrade it’s better to not do a Restore?
Did you need to do a Restore? Had you lost your data? Would putting the old ROM back in and doing another Restore resolve the problem?
Re: How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
No. I’m saying don’t use Spb Backup to do the data restore after upgrading the ROM :neutral:
Yes. The ROM update wipes all of the data.
Perhaps. I didn’t get that far because my phone was as useless as a brick.
Re: How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
That being the case you have nothing to loose trying the old ROM. :icon_smile:
Will Verizon replace the PDA for you?
Re: How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
After restoring the data, I could not do anything with my phone. After booting up, it just froze. That being the case, I could not connect it to my computer to reinstall the ROM.
Yes. They overnighted one to me for free 
Re: How to turn your PDA phone into a brick
Oh! :-s I wasn’t aware that it needed a functioning pc connection. I thought the ROM was a chip or loaded from a memory card.
Good to know. Thanks :icon_smile:
Yep… and I learned the hard way :neutral:
Weather Watcher 5.6.17
FIXED: When right-clicking SysSense tray icon, the Windows Taskbar menu was also opening sometimes.
What does the SysSense tray icon have to do with WW?? :-s
Nothing at all…
