I am trying this from my desktop, so it's not an Internet connection issue (cable modem). Looks like all the folders are where they belong. The radar, sat and temp maps work fine and are updated, but there is no display on the 1 day and 5 day maps. I have a GPS hooked up, configured the port (2) and can see 12 satillites locked in the gauges skin, so I know it's connected and getting a signal, but that's not needed for anything but GPS (GPS button) weather, right? Or, do all the tabs work off a GPS signal? Basically, the 1/5 day weather function no workie for me.

The cursor goes from hourglass to mouse pointer every 2-3 seconds or so.

I tried to click on the west palm, etc, header buttons, and set my city/state in RR Config. I even disabled my Norton AV, nothing helps. I also set weather and net check to "allow" in Norton.

Lastly, this is the same GPS antenna (earthmate) I had on my carPC machine, and it worked fine there. Haven't tested it yet with DFX3.0 on it, but I'm not sure that is the problem either. Just thought I'd configure RR on my desktop then copy the files to the other machine when done this way it's all set when I do the install.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?

Well, just an update to this, and maybe something to think about...

I had a chance to install RR and DFX on my laptop today, and followed the same steps I used for my desktop. Skin and RR work perfectly "right out of the box"

I'm wondering if the "problem" (and maybe some of the wierd **** people are saying are problems) might be due to a machine, processor, OS update version, driver, current AV programs, firewalls, or whatever compatibility vs just being PIA noobs?

BTW, weather worked just fine without a GPS unit, based on the city,state tabs while connected to the 'net.

The final destination for this is obviously the CarPC, so I'll just need to tweak everything on the laptop! No biggie, and just food for thought.
