Thread: Embedded GPS Problem, Help!

No ideas?

I am not sure what I did differently from the first time that it worked, but something is awry.

I just started having this problem as well, with no changes to my system.

Please advise. I'm running IG3.0 and the latest version of ME on Windows XP SP2.

Another thing I noticed is that ME is pegged at 96% CPU usage after you try to launch the GPS.

CarComp, thanks for creating this test app. I didn't realize you had posted here but after giving up on RoadRunner's BS audio interface I thought I would give ME a shot again.

Here is what happened:

Deleted log file
Ran iguidetestME.exe:
-Had to run reset.bat
-Performed the db update and set up media directories as prompted
-Configured ME to use iguidance as the GPS app. (UMPC version but that shouldn't matter)

In ME main screen:
-Clicked "GPS System"
-ME "Loading" screen shows for a moment then is covered up by the iguidance warning
-Clicked OK in the iguidance warning screen
-iguidance loads in a reduced size window (looks like it has retained it's size/position from when loaded in Roadrunner)

Taskbar is showing with "M.E: GPS" taskbar button highlighted

---

MediaEngine logging message boxes:

I moved the iGuidance window out of the way to reveal the ME "loading" screen. The loading image is covered with a MediaEngine box reading "0 - Looking for OK button window"

I click ok in the ME message box and:

The taskbar has disappeared and I am back to the black loading screen with:

"1 - MediaEngine has found #32770 - 65740" I click ok to this and get "2 - NOW I WILL LOOK FOR THE OK BUTTON"

Then I get: "x - Could Not find OK button, you click it"

Clicked ok in that.

Now I receive a ME box "DONE - Now loading Skin"

Then it works! IG displays properly in ME.

Here is the logfile:

MediaEngine Version - Logfile created on 07/11/2006

07/11/2006 9:52:04 PM - 0 - Looking for OK BUTTON Window
07/11/2006 9:53:29 PM - 1 - MediaEngine has found #32770 - 65740
07/11/2006 9:53:50 PM - 2 - NOW I WILL LOOK FOR THE OK BUTTON
07/11/2006 9:54:32 PM - I have done This stuff
07/11/2006 9:56:04 PM - MediaEngine terminated cleanly by user


Of course running reset.bat and then the old version of ME cause the display issues to come back.

Whatever you did in the new version appears to have corrected the problem!

bump

I second that bump!

Triple bump!

I see there was a new release made a couple of weeks ago, but I don't see anything correcting the IG embedding problem in the release notes
