Is the XP set to go into sleep mode or hibernation after 2 hours has expired have a look in the power options
The default time per graph page is two hours, so I suppose it's possible that something crashes the program when the graphs start scrolling, but I've never heard of it happening before. You could try changing the time to one hour (Configuration --> Graphs) and see if anything changes.
Happy to report that the data logging is working OK
As usual the numpty on the computer was the cause of the failure
. As NewtronStar pointed out the dropping of the data upload was due to incorrect power options! As the numpty hadn't "applied" the "never" settings XP was in the wrong power saving mode.
As to the graphs configuration Eric, these work with no issue.
If you look at my data on MyDSLWebStats you'll see a break in the upload at 13:20 on the 16th, there was an error message on screen for DSLstats that said "invalid divisor operation". The app was still open but data recording had stopped. This hasn't happened again and there is now over 24 hours data in WebStats.
Now the problem is understanding what they are telling me. I want to know and get a fix for my abysmal upload rate. Three visits from BT Engineers has got the down rate to 21meg but they won't do anything about the upstream rate, simply saying its 1400m and got aluminium cable in the line. I'll post a separate thread on this.
