Someone posted recently about using it with XP. The only problem appeared to be that Twitter updates wouldn't work because XP couldn't load the SSL code which Cumulus uses.

I can't say for certain, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. It certainly used to work. Twitter is the only issue I'm aware of.

Still running Cumulus 1 here on XP. WeatherLink too using the Virtual Com Port utility that only works with XP.

Twitter? What's Twitter? ;)
Cheers,

Hi,

I have multi machines running WinXP and Cumulus 1. These old XP machines are excellent weather stations :)
Yes they upload to WU no problem.
I am also uploading to twitter no problem.

Cheers

That's useful, thanks. I did wonder if the problem was specific to certain systems (I think two people have reported the same problem).
