problem: DXBase cannot find the key and therefore stays in Trial mode. solution:
The software cannot handle the automatic placement of the key in both the 32 bit and the 64 bit registry. Therefore it is necessary to make a modification to the 64 bit registry in VISTA 64. BACK UP THE REGISTRY FIRST ! 1) go the system prompt 2) click on "start search" and type in regedit and do a "enter" 3) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it 4) find the folder "Wow6432Node" and in it place a new folder "Scientific Solutions" and into this one another " Dxb2007" 5) in that folder create a new entry called "Key" (you will have to rename the new key#1 into Key) 6) go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the existing 32 bit folder that says Scientific Solutions and under Key copy the text string associated with it, 7) go back to the new folder created in the Wow6432Node as Key and past the text value into it. 8) close the registry Restart DXbase2007 and it will work. 73 de Karl N1DL From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 5 10:37:41 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Robert B. Bonner) Date: Mon Mar 5 10:43:50 2007 Subject: [Dxbase] DXbase2007 and VISTA 64 bit problem - solution found In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That will be an easy fix to the REG DISK to automate that procedure. I was also working on that track when I got your email Karl. Great news. I was able to get mine up here also. I still haven't put my computer in the rack and tried the COM port radio communications yet. Did you get yours running? I wasn't able to copy and paste the registration entry... I had to type it by hand, that was fun. MAYBE you found a trick I didn't see... Also MY 8 com port DIGI board doesn't have new VISTA drivers yet, however the tech guys said the XP ones work, but I don't know if they knew I was running 64 bit, because I had asked them BEFORE I actually had bought 64. I just got the database transferred over and its all up now. I can slide this computer in and see what else is broke.
