Windows 10 and Sleepy Head

Yesterday, I switched over to Windows 10. Essentially it doesn't work with Windows 10.

Something about the graphics.

That provides no info on your issue. Something about graphics could be a lot of different things. an actual error message might help.

Works fine on my test Win10 workstation.

Yeah, not much info supplied but at least it'll get the conversation going. I'm sure curious.

Works fine on my laptop running Win 10. Checked yesterday and today.

Sleepyhead is working fine with my Win10 on laptop... no glitches at all, and I just downloaded last night.

I had the same issue, Google the .dll files it says its missing, download them, extract the zip files, then copy the .dll files into C:\Windows\System32 and you will be good to go.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Tried it on a Windows 10 final build on a VM the other day, and Sleepyhead worked fine by just moving the executables and data to Windows 10. Now I've installed Windows 10 on my desktop, and it works just fine as well.

Sorry that you're having a problem, maybe you lost a file or two in translation? I have a D: drive that's very handy for these kind of upgrades. Just save everything there, and move it back into place after the upgrade. Or you can do it with online backup (like Carbonite) if you have a laptop with only one drive. Just be sure that you've marked all the executibles, libraries, etc. to be saved, online backup can be pretty cavalier about that, which can leave you wondering what happened. Redownloading the whole thing may help.

So, just upgraded to Win 10.
SleepyHead 9.8-1 (open and broken GL) as well as ResScan 5.4 appear to work fine!
But beware, Win 10 evidently writes to the SD card causing ResMed machines to want to erase them when reinserted. Lock before downloading to SleepyHead or wherever.

Just a reminder for those upgrading to W10 from W7 - Don't Forget to Lock Your SD Card before inserting in the W10 machine!!

It appears that the group has more than a few computer geeks here.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I truly have no idea what most of you are talking about.

Hi Dogjudge

I just upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and had the same issue. What happened for me is that I was using one version of the program (Sleepyhead-OpenGL) on the computer (Windows 7 Home Premium). It worked fine for that. When I updated the computer though, it came up with an error message regarding incompatible graphics hardware. The solution for me was to run the Sleepyhead-BrokenGL program instead.

If that is the error you're receiving, you will need to change the icon/shortcut. Did you or a friend install the software? You will need to locate where the software is on your hard drive. Once you know where it's at, you will start it with the Sleepyhead-BrokenGL.

This is what worked for me, hope it will help you as well.
