Pugsy's Pointers...Software install hints

[Cathyann]

Thanks oky. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. I'll ask hubby for help tonight, he's better at this sort of thing.

Are you trying to open SleepyHead from within the zipped up folder or did you unzip the folder and go into the unzipped folder to try to launch SH?
Often a missing dll warning will come up when someone is trying to launch SH from within the zipped folder.

Also if you do go get that missing file mentioned...you have to install it and not just download it and you have to install it in general and not try to put it in SH.
Meaning download and install it to where ever Windows wants to put it.

Also....what version did you download? This thread is way old and I may not have the most current version link....I haven't looked back to see where it takes a person.
This link takes to you a link that is the most current version 0.9.8-1

Thanks Pugsy for all the updates on those software install tips you put up several years ago. It's great you do that. I usually try to forget the majority of my posts from several years ago - sometimes I cringe when I think about some of them <sigh>

just getting started.

sleepyhead needs the cpap card? doesn't (yet) use the wireless data xfer?

i've installed sleepyhead on a T420 thinkpad. do i remove the sim card in the laptop and replace it with the card in the airsense10 that i use?

after install, starting up sleepyhead, i got three error messages about missing apple libraries, but then the program ran. so no problem?

thanks!

sleepyhead needs the cpap card?

Yes

doesn't (yet) use the wireless data xfer?

Actually there is wireless transfer available but it requires a totally different SD card and some extra work setting things up.
See down at the bottom where it talks about wireless transfer

do i remove the sim card in the laptop and replace it with the card in the airsense10 that i use?

SleepyHead has to have access to the SD Card contents/data so yes...the card from your cpap machine needs to be put in your computer and you have to download each time you want to see the new data.
Unless you decide to do the wireless card thing above but those cards aren't cheap.

And yes...if SleepyHead seems to open without errors then it probably is okay. If you get errors though...report back as to exact wording so someone can tell you what you are missing.

Hello arobz... It would be a good idea if you start your own thread. That way people will see your thread and give you the help you need. Also, please register here. If you can tell us what mask you use, that would be helpful also. I will tell you that most doctors don't even know what Sleepyhead is. Lots of luck on this journey.

I hope someone can help me I was playing around with my sleepyhead software I went to I went to view and than full screen and now I can't get out of it. When I go to click on view, data, or help I can't see anything it's block and the X on the top of the page is gone, I can not get out of the program now without doing a ctrl/alt/delete. I tried uninstalling the program and than installing it again but that didn't work. I am so frustrated with this any help would be welcomed.

Click view, uncheck fullscreen toggle, to get back to original.

OK, just had HD replaced on one of my laptops. New drive will need SH reinstalled. I have 900 + days of data on another laptop. How do I transfer that data to the new HD?

Sorry, but stuff like this, I have no clue as to the exact steps needed.
Plus I am getting ready to leave for a little vacation and I won't be available for over a week. I hate to start something and have to leave.

But in general .....
If you can access the old hard drive folders all the old SleepyHead data is stored within a folder under MyDocuments though and in theory you can just copy that folder to the same folder on the new hard drive that SleepyHead will put in the new hard drive's MyDocument folder.

On my new install of Sleephead on a Windows 10 laptop, the topmost menu (File, View, Data, Help) are frozen. If I click on them, nothing happens. The lower menu--as well as the icons on the right--work fine.

The only way I can stop the program is to run Taskmaster (control/alt/delete) and shut the program down from there.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thx for any help offered.

Did you download from here? https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/ If not I would uninstall and reinstall. If you did please start a new thread for replies.

[cpapbob]

Yes I did but I'll do the reinstall and try again.

Thanks,

Bob

[cpapbob]

I've done the uninstall and reinstall but still have frozen menus at the top. Nor can I exit from the program without running Cntr-Alt-Del.

Can you send me an earlier, less buggy version of the program for a Windows 10 64 bit system?

Thanks,

Bob
