When i first got the new version of RowPro.3.0. I really struggled with the graphics bit and i was told to install DirectX 7(i think it is free to download) :) and i have not had any problems since.
Or you could look on the C2 forum here. http://concept2.co.uk/forum/viewforum.p ... &sk=t&sd=d

There are alot of clever people on there. :fsbgrin:

The directX is maybe the thing i need :) to let rowpro work better.sometimes it stops in the row,and sometimes the program crashes on the finish.
Thanks for help.

I just reinstalled RP on my repaired laptop. It automatically downloaded DirectX during the installation.

Try running RP in 2D mode.
If it still won't run properly, then there is probably a bigger issue than just the graphics interface.

I have downloaded and installed a trial of RowPro 4.2 (in a virtual machine, because I normaly use a Mac). Today I tried to use RowPro during my session. I just started rowing and haven't setup any Rowpro session/plan. It seemed that it worked, becasue during workout I could see some results. At the end I saw that the rowed meters where fine. I treid to "stop rowing" by pressing the button, but nothing happend. The only thing I could do was to quit (not force quit!) RowPro… unfortunately it didn't save the session to the logbook. :evil: Fortunately the session was saved by PM3 and logcard. [-o<

Is there something (special to setup) I'm missing? ^O^

Not that I can think of. I suggest you try it again a couple of times - just short 500m rows will allow you to test it out without waiting too long to find out if it is working or not.

If you are looking to save data, you should row either a standard or custom workout, not the just row. If you pick the 500m from the standard list and then row that, you should be able to save all the stroke data.

Thanks for the advice

I followed your advice and did today "planned" session… and RowPro saved the session data. =D>

Is there any useful build in data analyzing option? (As by e-mail discussed, the Excel file you send me does not work with the Mac version of office 2011).
