Disaster Recovery: Zenon starts up with background only.

Disaster Recovery: Zenon starts up with background only.

My HMI PC has failed. I have done a backup restore to a laptop to keep us going using Acronis Backup and Recovery which allows restore to different hardware (the laptop in this case).
  • The Zenon application is set to start on startup. At one stage the HMI seemed to load correctly and I had the start screen graphics.
  • I had some additional drivers - network adapter and video drivers in particular - to fix which I seem to have done successfully.
  • Now when Zenon starts I just get a beige/grey screen. (This is the background colour for my application.)
  • Dongle seems to be detected OK.

Is there any way to debug a runtime to see where it is getting stuck?
Zenon 6.20 on Windows XP, SP3, now running on Dell Latitude D630.
Many thanks.
