I am sure PPro does not work with Win98 or WinXP - even if Bruce says he only supports XP. XP is supported by Microsoft anyway and Bruce has to keep up to even show performance data. Does Bruce think about 64 Bit already - just around the corner? I never got any response to my problem listed above. But I wasted four days finding out why my WinXP does not work anymore. I could not use PPro and XP at the DOS level - just 1 problem I found. I am working for networks at my company and PPro made it impossible to ping to any IP address or use any DOS-programm. It slowed it down so that you could not use it or it just killed the system. I installed a new naked version of PPro and it worked. Than I tried to copy the setup of my old config to PPro. PPro cannot handle a copy of the config. It complained about entries you never will see in the old PProConfig - they don't show up but they are there. It is unable to handle them and leaves scrap - hidden but working. But if you think you can copy for instance command lists you are wrong. PPro cannot even copy leading spaces. It is a joke...so be prepared for a lot of work. Don't think about timers and a lot of other things. I really set up the old problem config like the new problem config. But it still did not work - there is too much hidden scrap you cannot see I guess or PPro cannot work with XP. Finally I suceeded but even after all this hours I do not know why - I guess it is another hidden scrap entry in the config - what somehow cannot be - I entered the config anew with a lot of work. Perhaps the next change will make XP not work again. PPro was a good idea - but I am afraid the developer and some of his friends lost reality. They just care about problems almost nobody will have. But never about basic functionality. I am afraid PPro has lost the link to the customers. There must be a reason while they need two forums already - one for new users and one for the absolute freaks... Bruce should think again about the basic problems. With all this computer power and all the alternative software PPro really should start to think about the future it could have...but it might give up because of dealing to much with minor problems. There are many users needing basic functionallity. As long as this does not work you will never succeed in the long run... And beeing stuck-up and not even responding to unpleaseant messages makes it worse. Hope this one does not disappaer like many otherw of other people who did complain about PPro or told for instance that an Allan Martin - altough he wanted to leave this formum at his own will because he was aware of causing to many problems here...but he is still doing the same?! Guess PPro and he will share the same future... ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Most low income households are not online.
