Instead I tell it to put it in a directory of my choosing, which is not a directory that Windows controls with its devilish schemes. In my case I install DXbase on my D: drive, in D:\ham radio\dxbase. ( I understand there's an issue with the registry on 64-bit OS versions. I'm running 32-bit Windows so I didn't encounter it.) (And I did have trouble with the hosts file on Windows 7. Apparently Windows 7 doesn't have a hosts file, so I just got the file from an old Vista backup and copied it into the corresponding directory under Windows 7.) 73 es DX, John, W1JA -------------------------------------------------- From: "Neal Campbell" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:52 AM To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Dxbase] try this again... win 7 > You are running into the Virtual File protection in Vista and Win7, which > has developed this devilish scheme to prevent malware from attacking your > system.
