Virtual Weather Station receives an executable error and shutdown occurs. Crashing can be a result of many issues, including Windows and associated drivers or within the Virtual Weather Station program.

Solution
> [|site.ambientweatherstore.com/vws/debug/vws_install.exe] > [|site.ambientweatherstore.com/vws/debug/whawk.exe] > This version includes debugging code that will provide Ambient Weather with the exact line and execution if the software is crashing within Virtual Weather Station. > and place in the same directory as the vws directory where you are running the appliction (usually c:\vws).
 * 1) If you are running **Vista or Windows7**, right click on the Virtual Weather Station icon on the desktop and select Run as Administrator to grant administrator privileges. This can cause certain features not to work.
 * 2) For all weather stations **other than WeatherHawk**, download the debug file here and install into the same directory as the previous installation:
 * 1) **For WeatherHawk weather stations**, download the debug file here and install into the same director as the previous installation:
 * 1) Re-run Virtual Weather Station and if the program crashes again, proceed to Step 5.
 * 2) If you receive the executable error and the ModName = cvi*.dll (any cvi module, for example, cvirte.dll), Virtual Weather Station is crashing then proceed to step (6). If the ModName is not cvi*.dll, if you have not done so already, please contact Ambient Weather by filling out the [|Problem Report Form]. Please include the module name in the form.
 * 3) The debug version includes a full memory lap, requires more memory and runs slower then the normal version. When the program crashes, it will provide you with (1) the filename (usually formatted as main*.c, where * is the build number), (2) line number and (3) column number. Please email this information to support@ambientweather.com.
 * 4) if the ModName is wininet.dll, and you are running Internet Explorer 8 or greater, download the following DLL [|here]
 * 1) If the ModName is wininet.dll, reducing the update rate sometimes eliminates the issue. Select **Wunderground | Sign Up and Settings**, and increase the rapid fire timer from 1 second to 3 seconds or more.
