Welllllll, hurry up and make it!!!!!     Sorry about that!  But you are right ver 3.0.4.5 I just downloaded ver 3.0.4.6 and still getting the same thing.  I also installed ver 3.0.4.0 on the automation pc and still getting the error.  So I don't know if it has to do with all the windows updates or xp home or what!     Going to uninstall and try again.

Well mine is 3.0.4.6 on Vista Prem 32bit.  I have not changed versions nor edited router config.  It just started working the following day.  I would say that antivirus/antispyware sotware would be culprit #1, but the intermit of it is mind boggling. 

I'm using Avast Free Personal, however it did take an update yesterday and I did not check afterward.

Hawk1 "StartIndex cannot be less than zero"  indicates bad or no internet access I've change this to now state that!
I had a small power brown out today so it kinda has slowed my progress!
Hopeful that didn't allow Murphy into the code !
I'm test running now to be sure he didn't sneek in!

Tuicemen, thats  what you told me before.  But I have internet access as stated above.  Both of these pc's are hooked into a d-link router.  I have also tried hooking direct, but to no avail.  The xp pro pc works with the weather, the xp home doesn't.  I don't know whats going on.

I've tried to uninstall, reinstall, different versions, still no dice.  The xp home pc is my home automation pc where I need PCC installed.  Just information for you.

[Tuicemen]

Since Pro and Home are the same OS just extra options I'd look at the services & programs running on both.
use Msconfig to shut down any services runing on Home that aren't on Pro.
Then look at the settings of the firewall on each as well as other internet security programs(antivirus, antispyware...) running

Just released : Version 3.0.4.7
This is mostly a bug fix release with a few adds.
Hopefully I've got all the weather related bugs ironed out with this realease!
Since I had a power blip while adding these fixes I'm not sure if all of these were noticeable or if they were the result of Murphy getting in with the power disruption!

3.0.4.7
Added features:

• Fixed error if no CD or DVD drive detected on PC! Options for them are disabled if companion can't find a drive
• Changed start up CM15A error to more accurately reflect that the X10Nets.exe file can't be found.
• Fixed x10 trigger saves for weather announcement
• Changed "StartIndex cannot be less than zero" error on weather fetch button click
• Fixed forth weather trigger error
• Fixed LessThen/GreaterThen options(were reversed)
• Fixed weather condition saves if one removes a condition it now correctly removes the entry
• Added message pop up for first time users, or if no setup file is located. Asks if one wishes to view manual.
• Added test button for weather triggers
• Added notification of which trigger fail to meet temperature paramiters (notification are now more specific)
• Added option to exit or not event triggers page on OK button press

Note: link to download is still the same

I don't know whats going on.  But mine doesn't work with the new update  either.     Router settings should be fine because the other computer is on the same router and it works.  Looked in services but really couldn't find anything in there that made a difference.

Tried without any antivirus.     Will try to figure this out.

I don't know whether or not this has anything to do with it but....  when ever I click detailed forcast and try to fetch it gives the error "city code isn't compatible" but when I click on two day forecast and try to fetch it gives the error " can't connect to the internet".

but I can access the internet through a browser just fine.  Is it somehow trying to access a dial up modem?

[Tuicemen]

Fetch uses a different site for detailed info then the two day forcast info!
When I was adding error catches I tested with incorrect city codes.
In the next release I'll change the message box to reflect that it is a connection problem!

It isn't trying to access threw dial-up unless you have Windows configured to do that!
Since you can connect with one XP machine but not the other the issue is the PCs configuration.
Is Windows firewall running on that one and not the other?
If it is running on both make sure the settings are the same.

You'll need to do some digging to find the differences on each PC.
Use the task manager to compare what is running on each machine.
Use Msconfig to shut down services and programs that run on start up.
Check to make sure any identical programs that are running have the same settings configured

If anybody uses the vcr commander successfully can you please send me your xml files?  I need to see why PCC isn't saving my codes.  It's wierd but the commander controller works fine but when I use my remote it won't send the codes to the vcr commander.  thanks

I know this is lazy for asking, but how do I program a button on the ICON-RF to trigger PCC to read my inbox?

Please move this post to the appropriate location as I had a hard time deciding where to put it.

[Tuicemen]

Sorry for slow reply Guys!
Knightrider
I don't believe I have read email added as an option yet for remote operation  
Can't believe I missed that one!
setting up keys on the Icon is easy:
First configure your CM15A in the Icon remote
Next click on mode then x10 and find the CM15A
This will bring up the options for it on the screen
In the program tell it the address of the CM15A
Now go in to the remote configuration of PCC and choose the key to respond to and what to respond with!
Open file may work for email reads with some tinkering and a script file!

I'll look in to this. My programing PC got Zapped while at the cottage so it will take time for me to get everything back up and running.

PCC saves the remote settings for the VCR commander in the mysettings.XML file under ComMacros and should look like this!
 <ComMacros>
  <string>A10 ON,TV POWER</string>
 </ComMacros>
If the info is not there let me know!
You must set up in the Event Triggers screen in VCR/IR Commander Triggers and once save they should display under the Configured Events drop down

*****UPDATE*****

Okay, after several days, no weeks I have PCC getting the weather!!!! 

It seems that internet connection sharing was enabled for some reason.  So I totally uninstalled that in add/remove windows programs.  And I reinstalled my network and now is all good!!!!!   (I don't have any hair left so, if your calling from the hair club for men forget it!!!!!)     

Next on the agenda is to get the vcr plugin to work, haven't messed with that in a while.  Stay Tuned!   

[Tuicemen]

Nice to hear you figured out the connection issue hawk1, even nicer that you shared this info with us.
I'm sure it will help others!
PCC Update:
Now that the colder weather is coming I'm sure I'll be busy coding!
My goal is to make PCC info accessable from BVC I think for most part that can be done with txt or wav files.
I've installed windows 7 32 bit on a machine so I'll test on that OS as well as XP that may take a little longer to debug but hopfully not much.
Since I've retired my programming time has been limited to winter months (just limited resources at the summer home).
Thanks to everyones donations,I've ordered a PC connectable weather station. So I hope to intergrate information from it (using Virtual Weather Station) with PCC.
Got some other PC connectible hardware you want to interface with? Let me know and I'll look into it
