VVEngine profiles disabled after sleep

I've been using ViceVersa for a few years now but recently encountered a new problem. I've started implementing a sleep regime on my PC to try and lower my carbon footprint. The problem is that every time my PC comes out of sleep all my VVEngine profiles are disabled with the message:

"VVEngine has detected changes in this ViceVersa profile and has disabled the scheduled run(s): manual reactivation required."

This is very unhelpful behaviour. Is there a solution to this??

VVEngine 1.1 (SN6)

Please advise.

Cheers,

Mark

OK, that's strange... VVEngine has a feature to disable a profile if the profile settings gets changed (for security reasons). But that should not happen due to sleep mode? Is the profile file getting changed? Which Windows OS are you using and how do you set the PC in sleep mode?

thanks

Windows 7 64 bit. PC goes into Hybrid Sleep after 30 mins or if I put it into sleep manually. The only thing I can think of is that the profiles are stored in My Documents but this folder actually lives on my NAS...

The "last modified" datestamps on the profiles themselves are many months old, so no changes have been made.

Cheers,

Hello Mark,

maybe that's the problem, could you try keeping a profile on the local disk instead of the NAS?

thanks!

Keeping the profile on the local disc solves the problem. I can live with that Very Happy

Thanks for the support.

Probably the issue is that the NAS connection is lost during the Sleep period, and VVEngine disables the profile since it can't find it...

I am having this same problem but the disk is local. The profiles are stored on drive D which is a separate partition on a RAID 5 array. Is there a resolution to this?

Hello

are the profiles getting disabled in VVEngine after the computer goes into "sleep" mode? Which version of Windows?

thanks

This system doesn't ever go to sleep. It's a Windows 2003 file server. There are about a half dozen profiles that run nightly and they all said that they were disabled because the profiles changed at 3:00 am. However the last modified date was 7/1/09 on the profile .fsf files.

A program or application must be saving or changing the profiles... does keeping the profiles in a different location work?
