I would never upgrade a system that way. The best way for a lot of reasons is to start with a clean, formatted hard drive and first re-install the operating system, then all of the programs one at a time.
You will need to have the old .ini file, your log file, and .cty file to get the re-installed version of dx4win up and running. The problem you are having now is more than likely due to the difference in com and lpt ports and their IRQ assignment between the old and new system. This causes IRQ conflicts and all sorts of blue screens and freezes. The worst offenders are sound, modem, and network cards that can crash your system. The easiest way to troubleshoot the problem is to remove every card out of the system except the display board, get dx4win working, then install the boards back one at a time with the sound card last. This is not even foolproof unless you can disable the so called "Plug and Play bios" which can undo things faster than you can fix them. Although DX4WIN will run without any com ports, most users are at least using a com port for a tnc or radio control and possibly an lpt port. Good luck. I think the problem your friend is having has little to do with DX4WIN and a lot to do with the initial computer set up and software installation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of RCARIELLO Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 6:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dx4win] Help Error Msg w/ AMD Computer Hello to all, Sending this message for a friend Running Win4DX version 4.07.
