Ben, Assuming your observations are correct and part of the summary window info updates reliably while the certain fields you mention do not, I have one observation but unfortunately, not a suggested solution.
The fields you mention are all heavily math intensive in the code. Therefore, it points to a hardware issue somehow involving your math processing chips. Sometimes there is a separate math co-processor, sometimes just done on the main CPU. I cannot think of anything in code that could result in the symptoms you describe given that you aren't experiencing any indications of a refdata.mdb corruption. The lat and lon info in those database fields must be ok or you would see other issues. I also cannot think of anything in the code impacted that is timing sensitive with a faster processor machine, except that radio interfaces could be impacted, but you didn't say anthing about radio problems. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "KB1FJ" <kb...@comcast.net> To: <dxbase@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 11:46 AM Subject: [Dxbase] Summary window > My summery window still is not work correctly all the time.
