The last several days WD has crashed (locked up) several times. I have been trying to problem solve the issue but decided it was time to post and get other suggestions.
Computer is a Dell Dimension 8300, Pentium 300 with 1 meg of ram. I have used the Windows Task Manager to monitor the CPU usage. At the beginning of the upload CPU usage can go as 100% for 2 seconds and averaged about 60% during the upload. At idle, without the WD webcam software running system stays at apx. 5%. With the WD webcam software CPU usage is apx. 30%.
WD, antivirus and firewall is the only thing running on the computer. I currently use the CarterLake templates (Ajax) version. I upload the first 5 pages every 5 minutes…the others every hour. I do not upload any file on a 1 minute basis. WDL is scheduled to update every 10 seconds. I upload my weather data to CWOP and Weather Underground…rapid fire is turned off.
This morning I decided to turn the WD web camera software off to see if there would be an improvement. System resources were low but I came home to find WD crashed again. I have copied the FTP file for your review:

I have followed the discussion concerning the gdiplus.dll file. I’m a computer light weight so I’m not real sure what this file is suppose to do. I did remove this file from the WD folder.
The current versions of WD is 10.37b build 06. I’m sure I need to provided additional data but I’m unsure of what to include. Thank you for reviewing this post and I look forward to a possible solution.
