2008-09-04 18:20:05 - Hesitant display on Laptop.
I have a hesitant display on a Laptop.

I have the client installed and working well on two desktop pc's, one wireless the other wired. However when I installed on my laptop I get a hesitant display, that is - sometimes the client does not respond, the clock in the top left stops for a few seconds, as does the display, polar etc then just starts again. The laptop itself appears fine.

HP Compaq nc8230,
512MB RAM, 2.1GHz CPU
XP Pro SP3
ATI Mobility Radeon X600 display
[1680 x 1050, 32bit depth]

I have the latest video drivers from HP’s website, have tried with and without firewall and with no other apps running. It is connected to the same home network and DSL internet connection as the two working desktops via wireless. [54Mbit/s connection signal strength measured as ‘Excellent’ by windows].

On exiting the app, I see a log error box. Log says;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gui\glmap.pyc", line 156, in MouseMoved
File "gui\glboat.pyc", line 267, in over_boat

I would welcome any ideas?

Thanks

so, just in case this helps anyone else. I found a cure for this. Previously I was using the Intel PROSet / Wireless utility to logon to my wifi network. I disabled this and allowed Windows to manage my wireless connection and then all came good.

Now I can sail from anywhere in the house...

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
