YoWindow Forum

I created two more locations and tested them without Yowindow screensaver working and all worked well. The contecnts of options.xml is as follows:

As soon as I turn on Yowindow screensaver, the yowindow screen saver comes up without the link to the PWS. On closing yowindow screensaver the contects of options.xml have been changed with all weatherstation data missing. The other location data, etc is still there, only the weatherstation data is missing. Yowindows screen saver comes up without showing the PWS data so it seems that the weatherstation data is lost or correcupted when yowindows screensaver is initially started. When yowindows screensaver is exited it updates options.xml with faulty data as follows:

The weatherstation data is missing.

Hope you are feeling better.

Geoff

Did further testing on third machine. Provided you only run Yowindow evrything is fine. As soom as you enable yowindow screensaver yowindow screen saver seems to overwrite options.xml with data without the weatherstation data. Yowindow screensaver always comes up without the PWS data and always displays the METARS weather data.

Hey, Geoff!
I think I have fixed this nasty error.
See b83

Loaded b85 and it seems to have solved all problems. have tested it on 2 computers Windows 7 32bit SP1 and Windows 7 64bit SP1.

Thanks for all your help

Geoff

So far looks promising to me also.
One note for you, not a big deal, but thought you would be interested.
My console reporting 49.4 F
Desktop YoWindow shows 49F, screensaver YoWindow shows 50F

I'm happy I have managed to solve this problem.
Thank you
