WW Stops loading Radar

Discontinued Software Weather Watcher - Support
1

Hello! Great program.

I am running WW 24/7 on a machine that is set up as sort of a multidisplay information system, ie; 2 vid cards, 4 monitors. I leave one monitor blank, which lets the wallpaper image show all the time. For some reason after some time the image quits updating. If I click the tray icon nothing happens. I use task manager to see what is going on and it says WW is not responding, so I stop it, then restart it. This is fine but then it quits again.

My question is this, is there a log somewhere that I can look at to see the time it stops? Maybe I can relate that to something else going on at the same time. The other monitors display various message boards in the Avant browser with them auto updating every few minutes.

I also use Radarsaver as a screensaver but only on one vid cards desktop settings. I use Nvidias desktop manager to create seperate environments.

There is not a log. Which version of Weather Watcher are you using?

The latest download. I uninstalled, used regcleaner, then reinstalled yesterday and it stopped updating sometime during the night. It has done this since I first found you last week.

I will leave Task Manager up so that I might catch when it stops responding. Perhaps this event will help.

While watching Taskmanager I notice that 2 instances of WWDownloader pop up when the wallpaper updates.

BTW Thank you very much for the fast, personal service here. I hope I am not keeping you from something important. I am homebound and have nothing better to do.

breadtrk, there could be an issue with the wallpaper auto-update in the beta version. Whatever the case, ww.exe is getting caught in an infinite loop.

The 2 instances of DL.EXE is normal. The DL.EXE application is used to download data from the Internet.

Cool. I also beta test games so can live with a bug or 2. If there is any way to help with development of WW feel free to say so.

I thought that that is what the exe was doing, One for the wallpaper, one for the forecast?

Are there any plans for multi monitor support? Example, Radar on one monitor, forecast on another, satellite on another etc?

Something like that.

I have no way to test that kind of functionality.
