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...

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
