UI-View 32 Forum

UI-View32 runs OK in version 5.0, as long as it completes the startup. I've noticed that after shutting the app down and restarting it the wine-preloader process tends to hang and leaves UI-View32 sitting with the map loaded and the splash screen still showing but otherwise totally unresponsive. Top shows the wineserver and wine-preloader process both sitting at around 47-50% CPU usage at this point. I upgraded the install from 4.2 after uninstalling the alpha and beta releases.

When it's running, it seems more responsive under 5.0 than it was under 4.2. A couple of other observations:

• the wine systray appears broken - the systray icon does not appear when the app is running (it did under 4.2)
• when tooltips are showing another wine process shows in the task bar. It disappears when the tooltip popup disappears. I'm sure this didn't happen under 4.2.

Update - it seems that it has regressed in version 5.0 compared to the earlier release candidates. Currently wine-preloader is sitting between 50-60% CPU loading (with UI-View32 running having completed its startup) and wineserver sitting around 30-40%. This is with the app idle. Map refreshes peak the numbers. The load averages are sitting around 3 - under 4.2 with only UI-View32 and Evolution running for days on end the load averages were around 0.6. I didn't see this in any of the beta releases so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the upgrade. I may just reinstall cxoffice in another directory and reinstall UI-View32 in a new bottle to see if that makes a difference.

Update on version 5 - UIView crashes if installed in a Win2000 bottle but runs fine if installed in a Win98 bottle. I have just done a complete uninstall and fresh install of cxoffice and UI-View32. Still have the same problem with the wine-preloader process chewing up lots of processor time and slowing the machine down.

Have tried instaling on laptop and desk top and get the same "access violation".
Tried a win 2k and 98 bottle.
I upgraded to Suse 10 before getting the 5.0 so I have 2 unknowns at the moment.
So I might have toe go back to 4.2 to prove something.

update
Installed 4.2 and installed ui-view still got a couple of access errors but not fatal and the installation completed.
Have got as far as comm set up and call sign and lat long so it looks like it's a 5.0 problem.
Not that it stopped there I just stopped to post this update.

update2
as it was a clean install on a fresh Suse10.0 I decided to try the following.
Uninstall all CXO.
Install 4.2 and then install ui-view. Did register and station setup to be sure it was working.
Then Install 5.0 which upgraded.
ui-view opens and runs.
So it looks like it's an install issue I have with 5.0

Unfortunatly I was away during the Beta's so don't know how installs went on those versions.
