My apologies, I just realized you responded...
I am running win XP and I am not really getting an error message..I just click on it and it will not open at all.
Perhaps now that I found it on my add/remove progs I shall delete it and try a fresh install..
I ended up paying the 14 bucks for the "only other" grow software that came up on google...not the best UI, IMO. and 2x it has reverted back to shareware where u can only log info on 3 plants(and lost ALL data!!).
I really like the UI of yours, a lot smoother.
I hope to be able to run it!!!
Thanks newbb

Sounds like something is wrong with your data file, if you can send it to me I can debug it and fix it for you, if not you can go into the install directory and rename it or delete it. It should be in C:\Program Files\HERB.IQ\HERB.IQ.420 or C:\Program Files\HERB.IQ\Data.zip if you were using encryption.

What about c:\programs files(x86\herb.iq
or
C:\Users\LuciferX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\HERB.IQ\ - replacing LuciferX with your username

YES it did.. it is the same lock on your software.. I saved it to desktop and put a lock on all my desktop icons... I can still access them folders but there is a lock on all of them exactly like the lock through out your software...
Does your software change any registry keys?

Nope doesn't make any system changes what-so-ever, has no reason to modify anything on your system other than it's own data files. Feel free to browse the source code --> http://herbiq.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets

I understand but by changing their own data files it locked my folders... I firgured it out...
For future problems...
Go to permissions for user and go to sercurity tab and change to allow...
I'm having an issue connecting to my sensors. I don't know how to get herb.iq to connect to my com port. I am sending the example from the sparksfun usb weather board and using termite (a terminal program) I am able to see the serial string.(9600 8-N-1) I tried to install the sensor service release 1 but the cmd window opens and then closes too fast for me to see what happened. (This might be normal i don't know) Then I try to run the service but it gives an error saying that it cannot be started in that way. I dont' know what I am doing wrong. I don't know what the sensor1 data path should be in the configure tab, I tried the test local connection tab and put in my com port and click start but it returns failed to connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Do you have termite open when you're doing a com test?
No, I did the first time I tried and realized that the com port was in use so I closed it and same problem. I unplugged the usb and plugged it back in and same thing and I restarted and same thing. I have never sent data to a computer before only lcd screens. I am using the µUSB-MB5 USB to Serial UART Bridge Converter. Every time I plug it in it is on com 5 but I still check to make sure.

Do you know if your sensor requires handshake enabled or not? I have it set to disabled in the app, other than that it is already using 9600 8-N-1 though. I can walk you through setting up the sensor service, you won't be able to use it until you can get a successful connection test since it uses the same code though so we need to fix that first.

Thank you sooo much for your fast reply. There is no handshake right now I just have a pikaxe 18X set up to send the example from the usb weather board datasheet at about once a second.( I have 2 sensors that it reads then displays the readings on an lcd and then it sends the example. The actual data that I get from the sensors does not get sent to the com port because I want to get the connection working before I try to format my data to be sent to the computer) If I understand correct the app should connect to the port if there is data being sent or not as long as the port is connected and not in use right? I should have mentioned that I am using the newest version of Herb.iq and winXP home 2002 service pack 3. Thanks for all your help!!
