OK new problem

[bdeditch]

Lights went off again tonight everything was open in Task manager, but this is what I copied from the Status Log. Went in disabled shows and re enabled and it worked again. The status screen was also "shaking" until I disabled the show.

Sounds like quite a meltdown. I can't blame the status screen for trembling... Have you always been this snake-bit?

Sadly. I got this too! In addition to my transmitter snafu.

Last night I installed a Vista SP2 pack. Now the show has stopped several times. Just frozen. Status window was just stuck for a long time. Had to hard reboot as system was entirely lock up.

update.

TrendMicro virus scanner said LORTray.exe has or is a virus. I hit ok and it was deleted! ROUGEAV_Winsecs

Installing latest update to see what happens.

[ItsMeBobO]

Seems like a false alarm. 2.6.0 was deleted then I installed 2.6.2 and new version was also found.

This is the day for problems. Had a lot of trouble installing new version. Vista putting stuff where it wants it and then protecting it. Had to copy extracted MSI to a non-temp folder.

Ouch!
I have disabled the gateway on my PC so there are no updates while show is running.
I am glad I have a pc dedicated for the shows.
Sorry this doesn't really help with your problem(s) now.

I had to get rid of my Trend Micro...it was ruining my PC by deleting things it needed.

How come ever darn virus program is rated #1!!!!!

The only AV I really recommend is AVG by Grisoft. That said I wouldn't use any AV on a LOR show computer. You're just asking for trouble. If it's just running LOR, why install extra software to run in the background. Asssuming you're behind a router/NAT device or not connected to a network at all, why bother?

[Bret LeFevre]

I have used AVG on my show computer for 4 years and haven't had any problems with it. AVG scans my computer every night during the early AM and it doesn't affect LOR at all.

I run Trend Internet Security on this pc and it plays the show and runs Zara Radio. No problems here.
