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...

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Azores Challenge 2025


Another almost forgotten race at SOL. For only the second time we will sail the Jester Azores Challenge route from 2016.
What is the Jester Challenge?
Every two years a group of singlehanded sailors heads for Plymouth to sail the Atlantic. The Jester Challenge is not a race in any way, shape or form, simply an opportunity for skippers to test their boats and their seagoing mettle in a supportive and non-competitive environment. Skippers can make stopovers in other ports or harbours if they so desire, and there is no stigma attached to retiring from the event. Each sailor takes full responsibility for him or herself, their boat and the equipment they carry. There are no entry fees and virtually no rules, although there are guidelines.
Our rules are a bit different and we have a 60ft trimaran at our disposal and we have 1200nm to cover. Let's see what our yachts and their skippers can do. We wonder what you will take on board?

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

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 this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
