When i click on webgui, now gives the message unexpected error: shutting down. I have had this error before. Support told me to rebuild Direcpc. After rebuilding it ran fine, now it is broke again.
The solution for me was to just use DirecPC for Web surfing and downloading. I reinstalled the software, turned off the Webcast and newsreader "push" features and haven't had any Webgui problems since (knock on wood).

The only part of this post I don't understand is, how do you know David Graham will return? I thought he was always out to lunch. Or is that just 'out there'? <G>

Actually David Graham is our "expert" on webgui, he's out to lunch at the moment, perhaps try back in about 1.5 hours...

<chomp-chomp> ... I heard you two and I'm out to lunch ... out there too .. and I'm staying out when it comes to anything that says "webgui." That's a DPC 2.0 term and I don't ever want to hear it again. OK? ... OK ...
Rebuild DirecPC: I prefer debuild. Debuild is my forte. I was born for "debuild."
Now lets get rid of that "webgui" PERMANENTLY.
First let's run "DirecPC True Temp Test ONE" of the PCI card:
No paper clips or meters needed. Get one bobby pin. This is a delicate operation. Having the cover off the tower is optional but having the PCI card in the PCI expansion slot and the computer turned to "ON" is essential. Unscrew that cable coming from the dish. See that little silver thing you unscrewed the cable from and the plastic inside and that little bitty hole in the center? Now bite those round plastic things off the ends off the bobby pin, spread but do NOT spring the pin permanently. Be sure one bobby contacts the center lead. Yes it's a tight fit thru that hole in the plastic to contact the center lead, and should be too. And now the other bobby should spring to a clamped position securely on the ground, where the thready part is, if you didn't sprang it all to hell. Yes, it is normal to see a small spark on contact. If you did not see the spark you could have taken more than 20 minutes to prepare for this test and a reboot may be necessary. Go ahead, I'll wait .... I'll run over to Iomega and check a quick Zip repair.....
OK, now sprang the old bobby pin and let'r go again. Same sound FAP makes, huh? Okie-dokie, now just let'r rest there for a spell. Warm to the touch yet? Okie-dokie, you're doing good. We're looking for hot. PCI are hot critters and their temperature should never be taken cold. Now, if you chose the "tower cover off" option reach right in there and feel the PCI card without touching the metal cabinet of the computer enclosure or any of its metal parts. Good! See a little spark when you touched the silvery tuner box towqards the rear. Good sign. Now! .. does the temperature of the bobby pin seem to be reaching the same temperature of the PCI card itself. Not yet, OK, some of these are downright stubborn to the TrueTest. Let'r run a bit and the bobby should get HOT. Just keep feeling of that thang ..and the card .. rubbing the cat don't hurt either before reaching in there to feel the DPC card itself. OK .. the pin is now hotter than the card. Very good ... Now the card seems to cooling now ... and the bobby pin is too. ... very good ... the test is complete. ... Unless it ran another 20 minutes and another reboot is necessary ... but, lets reboot just to be sure ... leave the bobby pin in place and reboot. I'll dash over to Iomega to check a quick Jaz repair and be back in a flash ...
Okie-dokie Now .. if that card is NOT warming up and the bobby pin is still cool, the "DirecPC True Temp Test ONE" was successful and you have one of DirecPC's better PCI cards. Now don't ever EVER mess with anything that says "webgui" and DPC 2.0 or DirecPC again. Shouldn't a'hurt the modem .. use it, be happy and water the birds with the dish .... s'what it was made for anyhow ..

Let's add to the WebGUI saga .... If I run the DirecPC icon on the desktop, then until I reboot I have to use that icon for the web browser to get out on the net. That is not supposed to happen.

I'm impressed with your technical expertise, this is definitely the way to give a real 'power test' to most electronics. <G>

You're running DPC 2.0 and that's not supposed to happen either.
> BTW, what did you have for lunch?
I was working on gettin' rid of a case of chicken corny dogs I bought by mistake. Real things are better. Hope to buy "real" junk dogs when I reduce the present inventory.

Only to things you hate or want to return defective.
But I plugged the PCI card into the satellite receiver by mistake about 3:00 am one time when I had too cables in my hands for 3:00 am. Blue spark gap was pretty wide. <G> They must have good overload protectors on 'em. Pointing program didn't work very good that way though. PCI runs cooler and better ever since. <G> Good old beta version PCI ... stays alive all the time ... really does .. always did ..

I know, but I LIKE the newscast, and it mostly works (except for the boobless nudes because of incomplete multi-parts)

Gack! I'm not a corn dog afficiando, but I don't like much of the 'poultry' substitutes for real food at all.
I still like my beef rare, my chicken and fish fried and my pork well done!
Yes English is my native tongue. I telling you this so that you will not think that any ethnic group types and spells as poorly as I do. I was born and bred in the USA and went to some of its finest schools.
I will try to be more careful when I type. My finger inaccuracy is probably why my early career as a piano player was short lived.
Now from all of these notes it no longer clear where the files are and if the integrity of them has been preserved. If they are good somewhere please say where and I will pull them down tonight.
