Problem
When the computer starts, it launches multiple instances of Virtual Weather Station

Discussion
This usually occurs when the auto-launch feature is turned on in Virtual Weather Station (which stores this information in the registry) and a shortcut has been placed in the start-up directory by the user. This results in Virtual Weather Station launching two instances.

Solution

 * 1) Two turn off the auto-launch feature in Virtual Weather Station, select **Settings | Program Settings** from the Virtual Weather Station menubar, and turn off the option **Launch Program at Windows Startup**.
 * 2) Locate the Windows startup directories. There may be several, and make sure there are no shortcuts in the start-up directories:
 * C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
 * C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs
 * C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Programs
 * etc...
 * 1) If the problem persists, delete the setting directly in the registry:
 * From Windows, select **Start | Run | regedit**.
 * The path for the auto launch flag is: **HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run,** and look for the vws flag. This should be set to no value (nothing).
 * If there is a data value, delete the following entry:C:\vws\vws.exe
 * 1) If you have a VantagePro series weather station and you are using the WeatherLink automation feature, and you are launching more often then once per day, change this feature to launch once a day or turn the feature completely off. To check the settings, select Settings | PCLink Automation and view the schedule.
