== Cumulus locks up when it starts and I have to use the task manager to kill it ==
The problem where Cumulus locks up when the station doesn't respond is fixed in version 1.9.4. If you look in the status bar at the bottom of the Cumulus main window, there may be a message "Error: no response"; this would confirm that the station has locked up and needs resetting.
If you have a Fine Offset station, this is most likely caused by the station's interface locking up. You should be able to get it going again by doing a reset - remove batteries and the USB cable. Recent Fine Offset models have a problem where they can lock up frequently, requiring a reset. From version 1.9.3 of Cumulus onwards, there is an option to synchronise the reading of data with the console writing the data, to avoid doing both at the same time, and this seems to avoid most lockups.
 
If you have a ''Fine Offset station'', this is most likely caused by the station's interface locking up. You should be able to get it going again by doing a reset - either remove console batteries and the USB cable or press the reset button hidden below the small hole (on 1081-based models, above the top RH corner of the battery cover).

If none of this helps, post in the forum, attaching your zipped-up Cumulus diags folder.
