Hi John, not good about your failure.

In the wdisplay\databackup folder in  there is a file that holds all your configuration info.
wdisplayftp.reg. (There is one also inside the dated backup files in that folder.)
Find this file, right click on the mouse & choose "merge".
This will restore the settings for your station.
It would pay to restart windows after to be sure.

Then you "may" have to import your data from the station. Let me know if so.

John, any idea what caused the freeze in the first place?
Was it a powercut or similar?
Haven't changed any cables or anything else at all?
Is everything reading ok on the console?

Hello Deano,

a)I think it was a power cut that caused the problem,
b)Serial port No 1
c) Computer is all good regarding connections, also it is showing correct date and time.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Station is now running and uploading to the web.
It required the station name to be reset etc. If I had done it sooner none of the data would have been lost. All good in hindsight. Basicly  the power surge screwed the WD system and took out all the station settings even though we had a surge protector installed in the power supply line.
Just one more adjustment required and that is to reset the webcam image into the banner on the main page of WD and also to get the image uploading onto my web page. Any help out there? Then hopefully we are fully back on track.
