Of course, the original host file is there to facilitate communications with other entities. So, merely trashing the original file and replacing it with the DXBase version, you may find, as I did,?that you now have some communications difficulties with programs like Outlook, Outlook Express and possibly others.
Jack, maybe you could expound on the correct way to append the the entries in the original host file to the host file from DXBase to avoid these difficulties. 73 Paul -----Original Message----- From: Jack <[email protected]> To: ON5JV <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 7:56 am Subject: Re: [Dxbase] DXBase and Vista32bits Jean, During the installation of DXbase, we attempt to place a host file in the normal folder location expected by Windows. I think on Vista it is c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc but you can do a file search on host to find the exact location. Vista does not allow our installation to overwrite your existing host file. So, the solution is to copy the host file that we place in your DXbase 2007 folder into the location where Vista expects to see it. Overwrite the existing host file with the one from the DXbase folder.
