Background script not running

Thats good that it help fix your problem.

Upon checking in over at DIY Christmas I found others who also had this issue.  Vixen runs the sequence then ends and doesn't restart the BGS until Vixen is restarted.  I wrote this script to rectify that issue until we can figure out what is going on with the other.  It runs all the time with the while statement.

Well, didn't fix it.  Now I get com port errors when the program starts.  All this is making me crazy, especially this close to christmas.

If you turn off the bgs and just run a program schedule do you get the com error?

Last year I used a bgs and but this year I didn't bother with it. So far no problems. My lights turn on at 5pm and run til 10:16 and then I just have the nativity lit until midnight.

Been playing with everything this am, no com errors while vixen runs the first time upon opening.  Things go bad after the BGS finishes its timers.  Posted a question about windows in a new thread that would end this problem.  I have PM's KC over at DIY to ask about the BGS problem and no reply yet.  All this is quite frustrating.
