System XP Prof SP2 with AHP license +
SmartMacro + iWitnes PlugIn's:
I updated this morning (20th,european Time)
to 3.168 - Update went ok, but soon after
automatic newstart of AHP and after the
Registry 'Welcome' popup, AHPprogram aborts
with an error !!!
A manual start of AHP shows the
blinking 'update available' Sign again ->
and AHP aborts again.
This version 3.168 is not useable for me !!!
X10 pl. fix this fault !
I did not try this update under ME - will
happen this evening.
-
correction Version: 3.186
-
Holger: I suspect you will have a problem
with M.E. as I have had with 98se!
X10Pro
I installed v 3.186 on Xp sp2 without a
hitch. I'm running AHP + all
plugins,diagnostic unit + diagnostic
software. Every upgrade in 98 has been a
mess,and It just keeps getting worse! this
upgrade seemed to go well, said it was
sutting down AHP before installing no biggy!
Then up pops the AHP has caused an error
(standared screen I've gotten this enought
to know the details by memory!) clicked
close expecting to have to restart the
upgrade but it continued!
Hey ! looks like it worked! Wrong!!! AHP
starts minimized to the task bar! no biggy
I'll just maximize. Wrong again! AHP
standard error and will sutdown! Tried
diagnostic start same thing so I couldn't
send a report! Rebooted same thing!Ok back
to reinstalling, AHP starts up now minimize
on task bar again this time I can maximize!
But Wait now I can't see the pannel groups
fully only a sliver of them and I can't
resize! ok lets try restarting Nope! No go
same thing! Ok I think lets start in
diagnostic mode and I can send an error
report! TADA!!! It works??? If it works I
can't send a error report, lets restart in
nomal mode. TADA!!! GO FIGURE! Now lets see
what else I'll have problems with in 98SE &
AHP v3.186
-
X10Pro
More 98SE problems! The only preferences
that are saved are the ones for AHP itself!
Smart Marcros,General Video,Still
Capture,Video Settings & Multi-camera all
reset to the defalts!(update didn't fix
this) One good thing (well maybe!) I can
send in diagnostic reports I've had this
running 20 min and gotten the "AHP caused a
fault & will shut down" twice. AHP will
still let me and I have sent a diagnostic
report both times.I'm sure I could send a
report every 10 min but why? this never
crashed this often before! I'll restart AHP
in 98 but won't do any playing and see if it
will JUST stay running.
-
Not usable with Windows ME. Appears in the
system tray but cannot be maximized. Just
the same as the previous version. This is
getting irritating!
Andy
-
Ok here's one for XP well probly all OS as I
don't want to play on 98 right now!
Flags!: They now display that they are
set/cleared when you view the status window
BUT! (you know I was going to check this)
Flag 1 gets set when you download to the
interface just as it did prior to 3.185
probly did in that version only none of the
flags were displayed properly in the status
report window!
-
tuicemen: I'm not seeing the flag 1 problem
on XP, but I'll try on Win98. By the way, my
Win98 test install worked fine after the
update (I tested before we released). I'll
see if I can reproduce what you have described.
-
Same trouble with win 98SE as Juiceman
reported re default settings. Also get page
fault when I try to set/edit camera
postions. Videos and snapshots are not
recorded to disk, stills are ok, but I can't
change folder location!
-
tuicemen and AHP Team:
yesterday i did the update 3.186 on my ME
system - update went ok. After AHP started
again, Info Page was then on 3.186, but when
I exit (closed) AHP i got an AHP abort -
every time.
Situation under XP prof.SP2, referring to my
comment from yesterday:
Update seemed to be ok - all transfers
during update/dowload run without error
hints -> then message: complete, new start
of AHP, popup Page appears still with Vers.
3.185 !! -> 'new update avail' blinks and
AHP aborts right away.
-
Holger I get this error every time I exit
with 98SE as well I had it prior to 3.185
and now it's back.
As for you XP machine I never had any
problems with this update but have with
older update The only difference is our time
zones but that shouldn't make a difference.
did you try reloading the previous version
over top? That sometimes will fix the
problem.Then if it still reads v 3.185
download the update file then update from
your PC. I allways do this now as a hang up
on the internet can screw up the update
process.
Hope this helps! :)
-
Is anyone else seeing the "always minimized"
problem with 3.186 and Windows ME?
X10 Pro - the problem was introduced by
3.185. You said you were aware of it and
working on in the IWitness forum. What do I
have to do to fix it????
thanks.
Andy

Andy D:
I did post how to fix this at
http://forums.accessx10.com/ but I can't
remember the exact thread I've ran trials
with M.E., 98 & XP and stopped playing with
M.E. as it had all the bugs 98 had, plus
some OS issues! I can't remember the exact
steps I took but it invoved right clicking
on the minimize bar on the task bar
maximizeing then closing then restarting
AHP .There may have been a reboot in there
as well. This last time I used the meathod
posted here and it worked. I don't think
switching to diagnostic mode made it work I
think it was the extra restart of AHP.
Anyways check out www.accessx10.com
Lots of Users & Lots of answers!

X10Pro: I just move back to xp as none of my
timed events were working! I cleared all
flags as I have a phantom module set to
clear/set flags. checked to make sure all
flags were cleared and they were
redownloaded to the interface then checked
the status screen and all flags are still
cleared must have been a blip as I can't
recreate I'll try with the non diagnostic
version Ok this version shows flag 1 & 15 set
cleared then redownloaded and 1 is still
being set.sticker on the back is 04j41
Now what is interesting is my diagnostic
unit shows neither 15 or 16 set when one
should be so It isn't seeing the flags
properly sticker on it is 05b06 Either my
original unit is showing correct status or
both are defective!
-
tuicemen: I'm pretty sure the diagnostic unit
is working right. Check and see if your
timers and conditions work correctly on that
unti -- I bet they do. I still can't
reproduce the flag 1 set problem here, but
I'll try with a different interface.
AndyD: We know about the problem from a
couple users, but so far haven't been able to
get it to happen here. We're still trying.

X10Pro: conected the diagnostic unit to Xp
night timer failed to turn off a module at
10:55pm
checked flag status still no flag 15or 16 is
showing set .set up a test room with one
module ans a macro to test flag settings.AHP
crashed before I got macro set Standard AHP
caused a problem and will restart Tried to
send diagnostic report,it wouldn't let me!
hummm clicke on details and found it
generated a file8899_appcompat.txt clicked
ok figured I'd send it in the morrin No luck
it doesn't exist! But morring macro did
fire and niether flags 15 or 16 are showing
set. Ok thought I'd recreate since I didn't
finish last night set up the macro and
clicked update interface ! hour later it was
finally done! tried to fire macro no luck
suddenly AHP shut down (no warning no error
just shut down) thought well I'll reboot PC
see if that fixes things! restart AHP in
diagnostic mode setup the test file set flag
1 check to see if it is set and it is. fired
macro with palm pad . No GO. ok thought lets
try flag 2 ,set it checked it and then fire
with the palm pad again NO GO.
OK this is wierd I'll click on start
diagnostics under help and then set flag 1
fired with the palm pad AND Success! guess I
sill can't send any useful info! :( I feel
sorry for anyone with out a diagnostic unit
seems you now have to enable diagnostic mode
for it to work correctly! This Update only
turns previously good working units into
problem units like every one else has!

X10Pro, Others,
Good Morning...
After several weeks of "fairly good"
operation, my CM15A diag unit "04J44 4Mar"
quit. Some evening timers stopped and I was
getting unpredictable results when manually
(via palmpad) trying to turn off some timer
controlled lamps. I just turned them off
manually (hand) and shut down for the night.
This morning I connected the CM15A to the PC.
It was not recognized and I had to remove
batteries and reload the unit. I have not
had to do this for several weeks. It may be
the new update ? ..and X10Pro, as we
discussed earlier, the flags are still
non-resettable by macro.
Regards,
SteveRF
-
SteveRF: It is the new update I had to
remove the batteries in my unit this morring
as well and the software is buggier then
ever!
X10Pro: I was able to finaly send a
diagnostic report but Not sure if it will be
of any help as the problem was me! I guess I
wasn't fully awake making macros this
morring! I made 2 macros same conditions but
in seperate rooms ( I couldn't figure out
why when I clicked on the one it was showing
an else!)
Checked every thing else I made this morning
and it checks out!
Hey maybe I didn't realy have problems with
AHP! Maybe It was all a bad dream! :)

For those interested in my ME minimized
problem -
Reverted to 3.183 still minimized and not
usable.
Lauched dianostic mode with 3.183 now have
maximized screen. Closed ahp.
Launched 3.183 in non diagnostic mode.
Normal maximized screen.
I was intending to re-install 3.186 but I
think I'll wait for the dust to settle.
Reports in this thread don't look
encouraging.

X10-PRO:
I have not been able to get ceiling floods
with 65Watt Halogen bulbs to turn on with
AHP. I have two separate rooms(not next to
each other) with these bulb install in
recessed fixtures. One circuit has 2 bulbs
and the other three. They worked before I
upgraded to AHP and they presently work with
RF signals. Your help would be appreciated.
-
My CM15A 04J44 4Mar has worked all day today
and into this evening without any bad
glitches. I cleared teh interface and
reloaded aobut 6am today. The timers and
macros have all fired throughout the day as
scheduled. The floodlight dusk signal turned
on several lights and then waited the
appropriate 20 min delay before turning on
the outside lights.
Even X10Dispatch has sounded off for assigned
events during the day. The only problem ,at
this time, seems to be the erroneous flag
settings from the status report. We will see
if my 10pm and 11pm macros fire as expected.
The only other problem seems to be the
inablility of the CM15A to handle motion
sensors signaling within seconds of each
other. That has become a problem.
Regards,
SteveRF

Well everything is back running the way I
like it! On time and without a glitch (so
far)as long as I don't go looking for one!
I Just have to remember not to add anything
until next update!
SteveRF: Have you seen my post in the
>>>iWitness Video plugin<<< forum about
the "Must have addon"? I've just updated it.
-
I updated to 3.186 and now I cannot celar
the interface, download the program to the
interface, update the battery status or lock
in the housecodes for the RF. I would say
the update flopped! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
The MAIN AHP screen shows that the CM15A
interface and the VA11A interface are
connected - no little icons on the lower
left hand corner. When you display the
IWitness video windows, the lower left hand
corner displays the icon surrounded by a
red circle with a diagonal line through it
and displayes a balloon indicating that the
video capture interface is not connected.
All video functions do work.
-
When displaying snapshots for the first
time the smaller preview shot is high-
lighted but the text information is not
updated for the camera, picture size or
file size. This is all updated when you
click on the picture you wish to display. I
don't know if this is a problem with the
other video displays.
