Sailwave and 64 bit computers

Hi There,

I'm just wondering if Sailwave has issues with 64 bit machines? I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit and I have installed and re-installed Sailwave at least half a dozen times and the end result is always the same - Sailwave either crashes or I get a blank Sailwave screen with the message "program is not responding". Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Nick Cox

I also run SW (2.4.9) fine on Win7 Home Premium, but always get a
User Account Control warning when I start the program.
Colin has made a new version 2.5.1 to obviate this hassle.

Perhaps you are getting a permisions problem? Perhaps 2.5.1 would

solve your problem?

Nick,
I am running SW2.5 with Windows 7 64 bit, without any problem. I
didn’t have any problems with installation, so I am at a loss to
explain your problem.

re The User Account warning mentioned by Malcolm, I quote Jon's mail

from 5 May

"It is because Colin has forced sailwave to have administrator

rights as a fix for for accessing some of the directories which a
normal user doesn’t have rights to write to.

  If you delete or rename the manifest file sailwave.exe.manifest

in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave assuming it is a
64bit version of Windows 7 this will remove the admin rights from
Sailwave. And for the simpler scoring events works fine. If you
have files in the sub directories of C:\Program Files
(x86)\Sailwave that you want to write to then you will have to
adjust their permissions or move them elsewhere.

  The Shield icon will still be visible for a while but will

eventually go when windows gets around to refreshing the icon
cache or if you want you can force windows to refresh the icon
cache. Just do a Google for this but its easier just to leave it
and it disappears after a day or so.

Hope this helps

Hi All,

Thanks for all of the replies. I have discovered the source of the problem... it is the firewall at my worplace that is not allowing Sailwave to connect to the internet. When I disconnect the internet connection Sailwave loads up normally.

Nick, Sailwave only uses the internet on
startup if the global option is set to check for new versions -
untick that and you’ll be ok. Setup+GlobalOptions menu.
