Locked Status File Error in WSJT-X 2.3.0 rc2


Charly DF5VAE
 

Hello
It looks like there is no recent updated to this topic.

I see the error mesage "Status File error" frequently using WSJTx V2.4.0-rc4 (and before rc3) .
This happens more often since I use two instances of WSJTx. - alos after some hours of passive monitoring.
(sleep mode and all Windows powersavings are OFF)

Every time i observe this error message I have to stop wsjt and restart.that instance of WSJTx
I am using a fast multicore CPU, Win64, Omnirig and JT-alert, seldom more than 15% CPU use

Regards
Charly, DF5VAE

PS: the problem with storing a single q65 frequenvy in WSJTx - which apperare as valid for all modes after a reboot- seems to have been solved.

Hi Bill,

I did not install it as Administrator. But I rebooted the computer, and the new folder and file was still there from the last time, and the program seems to work smoothly now...

Hi Lance,

does that happen every time you run WSJT-X? It can be caused by running the WSJT-X installer as Administrator, that is not necessary as the installer will ask for Administrator rights just for the small part of the installation where it is needed.

Exactly what are you seeing?  Is it an error message?  What is the exact message?

I made a WSJT-X folder under my TEMP folder:

C:\Users\w7gj\AppData\Local\Temp\WSJT-X\

and saved a blank file there with NOTEPAD named "wsjtx_status.txt". So far, the program seems to work OK again.
