I got this as a gift. It came without a software disk. After emailing customer support I got a link to the the following software:

http://www.box.net/shared/static/6o8ihesobp.exe

I downloaded this software.  It brings up the software images on my screen ... I can enter my home location in the software ... but the software never connects to the internet ... so I star all over again.  The installation and troubleshooting guide for this software can be found at:

This gadget is supposedly compatible with Windows 7.  I am running Windows 7 Pro on my HP Computer.

    I agree, you did such a fine job on the last problem that I would agree with :

    (If your taking requests to further the functionality of the product and also unsure how much of the executible you've been able to decypt. Could you change the update cycle from 12 hours to 1 hour? I am just running a BAT file through task scheduler that kills the running process and starts a new one.) However if you didn"t want to I do not think anyone would blame you. My thanks as well, to you, as my WS at least work now.

    I just checked responses on server 2 and 3 and it seems it's back to working again!

    So we can finally put this issue to rest....

    Stefan, your solution works perfectly. Thanks very much. I did as you explained: 

    1. Stopped the application ("Close" on the application, then right click the the tray icon and choose Exit)
    2. Located the original "5-day forecast.exe" in Program Files (x86)
    3. Renamed it in the same location
    4. Saved your download (right-clicked your link, and Save link as ... ) directly to the same location as the original: http://www.fraservalleysoftware.com/download/5-day forecast.exe
    5. Double clicked the new "5-day forecast.exe" (also tried using the original desktop icon, and as that is still targeting the .exe file, it still launches the application just fine)
    6. Voila, the application is back to life on my PC (Win Vista 64-bit); the setting does indeed show "V1.02b (FVS)"
    7. Getting the device to display requires the same tedium as always - good batteries, start it next to the transmitter, move it gradually away to its site a couple of rooms away . . . .

    I uninstalled my SI weather station and now I am not able to get the disk or the link above to work. Every time I click this link or try my disc, I get the message "4-day forecast has stopped working" or "5-day forecast has stopped working"  I've tried several times w/ my Kaspersky anit-virus off. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Michael
