Re: New update for WeatherSix

Hi -- new HD1000 owner here; I've had it since last Wednesday.  My
questions are likely to be less sophisticated than some, so I apologize in
advance.

I installed the new version of WeatherSixlast night, and it isn't running
for me.  I suspect I've made a mistake, so here's what I did and maybe
you can help...

I have all of the working files for all of the applications I've installed
in the root directory of a 256MB CF card.  (The other apps work fine, and
WeatherSix did work fine until the new version.)

I renamed WeatherSix.roku to WeatherSix.rxxe and downloaded the script
that starts the swapfile first.  I also put one of the other backgrounds
into the Images directory.

When I start WeatherSix, I get the background and layout, but with no
data.  My list of locations doesn't give the city name for the first city,
though the zip is still there.  When I page through locations, I get more
blank background and layout screens.

I deleted all the locations, but that didn't help.  I also deleted all the
tmp files on the card (there were a lot of them -- shouldn't it be
cleaning this up?).  That didn't help either.

Should I have each of the apps in a separate directory?  I didn't want to
have to go down a level to run them.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
