  1. Ctrl+W that's the shortcut I needed. Thank you !
  2. Just to clarify what is displayed on the Display splash page: Version 5.5.2 #11184 watchpax20 192.168.5.106 [169.254.18.103] Whereas the working Watchpax doesn't show the second IP address in square brackets.
  3. I have the same issue with 3 Watchpax 2 which I have inherited from a job. They all have the green network light and flashing amber. I see the Display name and IP address. However the Production computer does not connect. Watchout version 5.5.2 I have tried direct network connection and via a switch. I am testing them independently. A fourth one I had already works perfectly, so I know the production computer and network setup is correct. So I am assuming it is the way the previous user had set them up. One of the three has the display specification Mismatch error. Something I cannot remedy because I cannot connect to to to upload a new show and delete the old. I have also plugged in the license key into each Watchpax and powered up, waited for the retart now dialogue. So my question is there a way to reset them to factory default? Thanks
  4. HI Any update to this, as I also would like to delete tiers created by mistake. We're now on Watchout 5 ... is it still not possible? Thanks Alex
  5. This is the first time I have bought and used a display with 6 display outputs (Win7). It is so fast that it boots and loads Watchpoint in a few seconds. Which is great! However I too get an incorrect IP address of 169.254.231.114 displaying in Watchpoint. Which can mean that there are other adapters connected/configured as Jim states, but this is not the case here. My production laptop (Win8) is connected directly with ethernet cable. I can ping to the correct IP of 192.168.0.102 successfully. Therefore I came to same conclusion as noted by Jonas that it is starting before Windows has completed. Also because once the display software is up and running showing the wrong IP, I then relaunch it and it finds the correct IP address of 192.168.0.102 If I use a switch between the two computers it finds the correct IP address. However I would prefer not to use a switch for this stand-alone installation if possible. I therefore tried Jonas' suggestion , but appending -Delay 3 (or any number) to the shortcut Target makes no difference to the startup time. "D:/WATCHOUT/WATCHPOINT.EXE" "-delay 10" NB: without the " " , Windows gives an error indicating that the entry is incorrect, so perhaps the Users Guide screenshot could be updated? I have added it to the shortcut in the main Start menu as well as the one found in ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Watchout5 This is possibly also related to the issue I have in adding commands to the autostart.txt file (either direct or using the Edit Startup Script from the display file menu. I want to run this display as a cluster (which I have done many times with previous versions of Watchout and XP) so that it starts the show automatically after booting up and executing the display software. The show is in a folder called Shows inside the folder that contains the Watchpoint.exe The script I use is below but when I boot the pc the only change is that the display has the line "The show will begin shortly" but it doesn't. authenticate 1 setLogoString "The show will begin shortly" delay 8000 load "Shows/Performance Today" wait run Perhaps I am missing something, I also tried ommitting the "Shows/" from the load command.
  6. Hi Jim Could you expand on what those changes are please? Watchout 5.5 Windows 7 display computer (only one). This is an installation that needs to run from startup without a production computer. At present I cannot even add the name of my Cmd.txt file to to Target box of the Watchpoint shortcut properties. Windows error "The name specified in the Target box is not valid. Please make sure that the path and file name are correct". I'm following page 258 of the latest Watchout_5_Users_Guide.
  7. I have a new production laptop with Windows 8 - Acer Aspire V3-771-32324G50MAii W8. I followed the tweaking list (as much as I could) for Windows 7 as I could not find a link to one for Windows 8. Installed Watchout 5.5 from downloaded file not from key, installed QuickTime from key. Issue: an error on launching Watchout "WIBUMC32.dll is missing from your computer". Solution: discovered that Codemeter installer did not auto install when plugged in, infact I could not see anything on any of my V5 keys related to CodeMeter. I know it's there because I earlier installed on an older Windows XP laptop without problems. Therefore I downloaded the CodeMeter installer from http://www.wibu.com/en/downloads-user-software.html#wk and after installing the software launches OK.
