Zwift Chat

3min slower for the lap than my best and indeed slower at 3.3w/k than some c cat racers! A stitch after 20 min made no difference. But at about 30 min on the second climb I struggled to hold 4w for a minute. 4 of our group of 5 pulled away and that was that. It was all I could do to keep a 20sec gap on the Cat A rider behind me.
Cat C’s obviously sandbagging and a fair number of riders without HR. Knackered.

I was watching you when in a group of about 6 or 7, then saw you get dropped. Seems they were pushing average 250 watts but massive w/kg (be interesting to see their weights!). I noticed then that a rider was sitting on your wheel, for about 5km ... didn't spot at first then realised this was my avatar. Weird. Even though I was actually riding Zwift had my avatar keeping pace with you

You was pushing some pretty big watts there

Early hours!
Not the best time to be installing and setting up a PC.

I would shut down the PC, restart and ensure a good internet connection, then start the download.

If it fails again, uninstall Zwift (go to the 'gear wheel symbol on the start menu bottom left screen) select 'Apps' and then uninstall Zwift.

Download again and see what happens. For some unfathomable reason Zwift always picks the less techie user to crash upon.

Reading Zwift, they suggest un-install Zwift, delete the Zwift folder from downloads, then download and place the Zwift folder on the desktop. It will be in download folder

Well finally done the update. Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. No luck. Was reading a few posts on google about the error code. Was suggested doing the update over mobile data via hotspot and it worked. Not ideal but it worked.
Had a little spin and it’s great. Makes so much difference this new pc.
Looking forward to a proper ride on it tomorrow as the weather is a bit crap.
Cheers for tips anyway

I was just about to say that the error apparently arises because you are not installing as an Administrator for the PC. But you have sorted it

@bobinski excuse my ignorance with anything IT. but how do I ensure I am running as admin. I thought as only user I would automatically be that??

Gawd, can’t recall.
fortunately this group has some IT boys who should be able to help.

Google mate. It’s all good. Cheers anyway. Next time I should have asked the kids.

I used to know lots of IT stuff, but as an IT Manager I now now more about budgets and staff issues than I do about tech and Windows 10 hid everything

I can give you this up to date advice.. to create a batch file that will run the program in question put the 5 1/4 floppy in the A drive and type..

Copy con autoexec.bat
Copy a:/ *.*
Z

You just right-click the setup file and select Run as Administrator. Even though you yourself is an administrator, it sometimes makes a difference to select run as administrator.

Don't forget himem.sys if you need more than 1 MB memory.

Made a boob! No glow in the dark bike, I'd forgotten that I started the challenge a while after joining Zwift. 30,000 to go, oh well

Insane thing is that I am still using those skills learned 30 odd years ago to 'Automate' tasks that windows still can't do even now. I really ought to look at powershell, and bring my skill s up to date, but "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I did the same thing-had about 20kft do.
