Re: alarm on Pathfinder 4.4.6

I am using Win2000Pro, and understood IE 7 wasnt built for that? I dont
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
know why the problem when I try either ie5 or ie6, but when I have the executable up and running, it goes to the MS site, says its starting, then just sits there, never completing the job. I eventually stop it (after an hour or more), and I do have high speed download here. Once, I even left it connected and supposedly downloading for 4 hours, came back and it was still just sitting there. Its odd, because when I try to do it again, it comes back and asks if I wasnt to continue, or start from the beginning. Doesnt matter which I select, it still doesnt do anything. At work, I had a complete copy I used there, without having to do the playing around, but when I retired, I forgot to bring a copy with me. We just got tired of dealing with that, for hundreds of computers. I suspect I will be able to put the Win2000 disc back in, and get it from there, but dont want to foul things up, being as I am down to just one operating computer here right now. Still waiting for a new hard drive for the family computer - and want to keep one operational. HI. ----- Original Message -----

Mode and Band for Card Aging Report
chefjeff52
Anyone else having this problem? Below is a representative excerpt
from the DXCC report "Card Aging". I'm at a loss as to why the mode is not shown for some contacts, and in one of my rare phone QSO's, no band. Am I missing something?

Re: alarm on Pathfinder 4.4.6
Actually I don't think you can completely remove IE from your system. There have been huge lawsuits over that but Microsoft claims it is an integral part of the system and cannot be removed.

With WinXP+ you can hide the IE desktop Icon and make another browser the default but you can't remove IE. Yes if you want to download IE 7 (It's a big improvement over IE 6 so I recommend you do that) it first gets a very small executable that I believe determines what parts of IE you need to download for your particular system and downloads only what you need. That works, and it minimizes the amount of stuff you need to download. Why is that a problem? 73, Rich - W3ZJ At 08:46 AM 8/31/2007, you wrote:

IE at all? I have Firefox on the computer. Took IE off at one point, because It wasnt acting right, and when I try to put it back on, I hit up against the stupid way they want to upload to me, with a small program on the computer that then reaches out and downloads the rest of it. It appears you have to have IE in order to get IE. Makes a lot of sense!! Even when I try to activate Firefox, then the setup, it seems to start, then just sits there without ever having done much, and have left it an hour or more to no affect.

Re: Not promising
I don't think anyone has publicized a comprehensive "defects

Re: Suggestion for WinWarbler
Open the WinWarbler's Config window, and select the "Broadband
Decode" tab. In the "Stations Heard" panel, check the "create local spots in SpotCollector" box. Now every station decoded by stations heard will be added to your Spot Database, where it will be colored according to need, and can be filtered and/or sorted as desired. If you set SpotCollector's Band filter to "Transceiver Band Only" and set its Mode filter to "PSK31", then the the Spot Database Display will only show PSK31 spots from the Stations Heard window or other ops, all colored by need. If you only want to see spots generated by the Stations Heard window, use the SQL filter SOURCE='KB0FHP' 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., "D.

I finally "resolved" my software problem when I found the original CD with all the programs on it - placed where it wouldn't be harmed while I was down sick. Getting my 'puters back to best performance levels, then wiring up the mess again will be the next task. I'll give all the suggested programs a try, as time permits, since I have no idea if the transition from Win '98SE (blue screen of death, mostly!) to XP, in NT mode, will work right or not. Only a lot of messing around with the keyboard, mouse, and various guesses will give me a clue if B. Gates 'n his OS systems will allow the gear to respond as per all the propaganda.

Suggestion for WinWarbler
D. Scott MacKenzie
I have been playing with PSK31 for a week or so, and pretty amazed at the
"STATIONS HEARD"... As a possible suggestion, one thing that would be really cool, is to see the stations heard turn colors - for instance if worked but not confirmed, not needed, needed band/mode, or needed on all bands. The same colors could be adopted from SPOT COLLECTOR.... Does this sound useful? Thanks again for a great piece of software. Scott, aka KB0FHP |

Re: upgrading launcher
Whatever you do, "DON'T" just delete files from the launcher installation folder without first uninstalling it via add/remove programs in the control panel. To do so would remove the uninstall information and leave you with a much more difficult problem to correct. That's true of any installed program.

Assuming that the path name you gave is correct in accordance with the location where you initially installed Lanucher 1.5.2, there should be a file named "launcheragent.exe" there. If it's not there, apparently something didn't go right with the initial installation. Dave should be on-line a little later so let's wait for him to suggest the appropriate action. I just wanted to get this out quickly to hopefully avoid the above far more serious mistake. The good news is that If you have successfully installed other DXLab applications, they should not be affected by this problem. 73, Rich - W3ZJ At 03:49 PM 8/30/2007, you wrote:

Re: alarm on Pathfinder 4.4.6
Errors in scripts can only come from the web page that Pathfinder is
attempting to display. From the URL, Pathfinder is searching QRZ.com. The correct URL is {TargetCallsign} which is a bit different than what you show below. Are you able to search sites other than QRZ.com without seeing script errors? 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., "Danny Douglas" <n7dc@...> wrote: requested)))) the web site comes up with the proper response information. |

Re: alarm on Pathfinder 4.4.6
I have a similar problem with AWS Weatherbug. Whenever I go to the radar display and ask to enlarge or animate the display I get that script error. It's very strange because it doesn't matter whether I say continue or don't continue, it continues anyway and nothing seems to be wrong. It seems to be a Windows thing and thus far I haven't been able to track it down. If anyone has the solution I'lI be eternally grateful. However, I have not had any problem with QRZ.com and Pathfinder 4.4.6.
