Unable to obtain grib data from internet

I'm getting this error when using the pop-up menu to download PredictWind from my PredictWind paid-for account.

em,
I don't use PW that much anymore but tried it and it worked OK using Exp ver 11.8.14

Look under WX Data tab>Grib Data/Other>PredictWind

The f'cast it gave was from Friday??

Re: Unable to obtain grib data from internet

Works fine here.  Smells like an account problem with either PW or your ISP.
But from Nick, is this an Expedition error message, or something from the outer world?  Or a big download on a small connection?  Same problem with the smallest possible GRIB file?

Re: Unable to obtain grib data from internet

It is a generic message saying Exp couldn't get the data.

Maybe check the settings on Expedition's internet settings page, else it might be an internet connection issue

Re: Unable to obtain grib data from internet

Turns out my subscription to PW (£99 for 3 months) doesn't include 8km grib files.  Stupid.  

Now, when I try and download the Exp gribs, my copy of Exp hangs.  I need to upgrade Exp but I'm nervous because I'm on Win7.

What to do.....

EM ..... get off Win 7 before it leaves you.  Lash out, the risk associated with Win 7 ain't worth it now.
I suppose you have heard about Microsoft's proposed Win 10 replacement incoming?

I'm scared that updating will brick my Toughbook.

Lash out baby.  The CF-53 must be what, 1995?
