Hi Alastair
Both of Pro & Ultimate allow you to download a free virtual machine that runs within the program with a copy, also free, of XP Pro that allows you to run many programs that will not run under Win 7, even in emulation mode. I run RBDOS 9.5 in this space.

To be honest, there is nothing shown that would help me as a home user. Nevertheless, I take your point that the more advanced versions may perform better than the “cheapo” one. If the cost of upgrading was minimal I might have considered it worthwhile but it’s a third of what I paid for the computer so I think I’m better off to replace my PC in the future rather than upgrade now. I’ll have to try using Windows Media Player instead of iTunes whilst I’m using R:Base. Regards, Alastair.

Windows 7 actually comes with all version pre-installed, and only one of them activated; in your case the “Home” version. It is very easy to upgrade to the “Pro” version, the only version IMHO that works well and has many added features for office work. You simply buy an upgrade “key” from Microsoft or a retailer and it takes just a few minutes to do it. The system work much better and you don’t have to re-install applications. This is what I did to may last two laptops and could not be happier.

It came pre-installed with the Dell PC I bought a few years back – I wish it hadn’t as it seems to have produced more problems than ever. Regards, Alastair.

That explanation, Mike, fits pretty well what I am experiencing in a way but R:Base is _my_ foreground window as that’s where I’m aware that I’m working – if you see what I mean. What doesn’t fit is that in R:Base 9.1 it didn’t happen BUT iTunes has had many minor upgrades so iTunes may have changed since I moved to R:Base 9.5. (I also upgraded to v11 and then went back to v10 so that may have made a difference somehow.) One other thing that I think is true but I’m not sure that it is so every time is that if iTunes is minimised the keystrokes seem to remain with R:Base. I’ll put it down to just another of those weird things computers do that I’ll never understand, Regards, Alastair.

This is a stab in the dark but it is the only reason I can see that another app would capture rbase keystrokes.

The only reason ITunes would be effected is its' message loop is catching the keyboard input. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alastair Burr" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 2:22 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Interference with or by iTunes Hi all, Just a stab in the dark this one - has anybody had any occasions when pressing enter or a function key from a form (uncompiled or anything). Sometimes iTunes either restarts the track it's playing or goes back to the first track. I'm not quite sure exactly yet what's happening but before I do more digging I thought I would see if anybody else has already been there. R:Base v9.5 (32) latest & iTunes v10.7 (yes, I know that's not the latest but I like it better than v11). Thanks & regards, Alastair.
