I am having some problems getting QL2K build 101 to work on Windows 7 64
bit. I installed the full build, then added the update files for each
version until the most recent.
I have installed the 64-bit Windows version QL2K-x64.exe and when I try
to run this I get a brief flash of the round egg-timer icon then
nothing, no error, no nothing. It just fails to start.
I can of course get the 32-bit version to work on Windows XP OK. I also
got QPC2 and Q-emuLator working OK on both systems of course.
Anyone with any experience of installing the 64-bit version with any
handy hints and tips for the installation?

Hi Dilwyn,
Just a thought, but where is it installed?
It should be in c\Program Files (x86)\q-emulator
c\Program Files is for 64 bit executables.
Err, it's the QL2K-x64.exe in a folder called Jadiam.org\QL2K
It was in c:\program files(x86)\jadiam.org\QL2K but I have tried it in
both.
Neither 32 bit nor 64 bit versions will start from either folder.

I forgot to mention: I ran the Win7 compatibility troubleshooter and it says
that (1) it is an unsafe program from another computer (actually, it was
downloaded fresh from Jimmy Montesinos site) and (b) that it needed to be
run in Administrator mode. I can get it to start by using Run As
Administrator for the 64 bit version, and the 32-bit version will run in Win
XP SP2 compatibility mode, but the 32 bit version fails to find the ROMs
even though the default settings point to the correct folder for those. I
have identical jadiam.org\ql2k folders in both Program Files folders, the
only difference between them being which ql2k-xNN.exe I use.
Time to give up for tonight and start afresh tomorrow.
