[Skimmertalk] QS1R and Skimmer Server - Invalid floating point operation

[W3OA]

  Martin -

Sorry - I didn't read your first email close enough before I answered.

It is also possible that you are trying to start Skimmer Server when it 
is already running.  This is very easy to do because when Skimmer Server 
is minimized it's icon shows up in the System Tray, not in the Task 
Bar.  And when You hit Skimmer Server's Red X it just minimizes the 
window, the program keeps running.  Even worse, in my Windows 7 system 
it's in the System Tray's Hidden Icons area.  So you won't see Skimmer 
Server's icon unless you know you need to go looking for it.

I hope this helps.
