Troubleshooting

Data arrives from station then stops

If you see the message Client - COM port disconnected, then you have configured

Weather Display in client mode. Client mode allows one copy of Weather Display to collect

data from another copy of Weather Display that is physically connected to the weather

station hardware. To change this setting, do the following:

1. €Go to the FTP setup screen page.

2. €Select the Client/Server setup tab.

3. €Switch off the option Client server (use only for when you are getting data from a

version connected to a weather station).

4. €Exit and restart Weather Display.

Some settings are lost when Weather Display starts or

when I click an action, nothing happens

The first place to check is on the Program Error Log menu item on the View menu. If

there is an access violation when Weather Display starts, then check if you have previously

enabled either the Weather Voice or Web cam options.

If Weather Voice is enabled, make sure you have a suitable speech driver installed. If you

don't have a speech driver installed, you probably need to download the British female

speech driver.

If direct Web cam capture is enabled, go back to the Settings page, and clear the Restore

settings on restart check box.

Other errors can result from a corrupted Weather Displayisplay.ini file, in the folder

c:\windows or c:\winnt (depending on what operating system you are running). There is a

backup of this file produced every 10 minutes, called Weather Displayisplayinibackup.ini, in

the folder where Weather Display is installed.

Wunderground only updates when I click on update now

Make sure you have the Main Internet switch turned on. (Under Setup, FTP/Internet

setup, Connections). If you are running your own Web server, either on the same

computer as Weather Display or over a local area network (LAN), and you have cleared the

Use Weather Display ftpupd.exe check box because you don't need to FTP files to the

Web server, you will need to select the Still use for all other check box.

Web page updates only when I click on Action, Update

Internet now

Make sure you have the Main Internet switch turned on. (Under Setup, FTP/Internet

setup, Connections).

Web page is not updated after installing a new verison of

Weather Display

It might be because of an updated version of the ftpupd.exe file and your hardware or

software firewall has blocked its access. You must configure your firewall to allow FTPUPD

permission to access the Internet.
