Situation normal >So I unregistered it, and lo and behold my own registered copy also >unregistered. Whichever you registered or unregistered, both did so at >the same time, so obviously QemuLator is finding its registration info >in a fixed location, probably in the usual C:\program files\qemulator\ It is you and your PC that are registered. A single entry, perfectly logical. In the registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Q-emuLator\User lies the code & user name You can run it from any place on the one PC, I expect more than one instance. But the advantage of the stick is you can plug into any machine providing you bring the code with you. >Sadly, QemuLator is the only one causing any significant problem at >the moment. Hardly QemuLator's problem, you are wanting to start it before setting the configeration. I move to other PCs, might have more HDD/partitions or other things in USB, I keep more than one config file >Has anyone used Phoebus's uQLX for Windows?

I had no luck getting the right files or setting it up. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
