Re: [DX-CHAT] Question?

Sherman,   First let me say that I am not a software expert!   I just received the September 3 issue of "PC Magazine".  On the cover it has a big lead in title of: "MAKE YOUR OLD SOFTWARE WORK ON WINDOWS XP".   The article  begins on page 75.  It is too lengthy to repeat here, but it does specifically address running DOS programs.  It has detail instructions.   I think you should be able to find the magazine, but if not let me know and I will try to scan it in and send.  Good Luck.   By the way I bought an old PC with windows 98 already installed and more power than I need for all of my Ham programs.  I paid $60!!!!!!   73 Bill N4NX ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherman Harrison To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:47 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Question? I have all of my logs & a friends logs that I am a Qsl Mg'r fer. My main purpose in ham radio is DXing which I dearly luv, having 7 programs on my computer: logging, bearings, etc. None of my Dos-based programs will now open, as well as my TelNet program which isn't dos. Everything was great on my old computers wid Win 95 es Win 98. But on my new computer, Win XP , every time I click on the Desktop Icon, or access the.exe file to bring up the program(s), I get the following:  NTVDM.exe error, closing down the program, sorry fer the inconvenience, etc. I've called the maker of my computer es their advice was no good(uninstall es reinstall). I called MSN es all they wanted to give me some needed advice was my credit card # so they could give me sum paid fer advice.........BTW, is Gates that greedy? Pse help if U knw how to help me. There is a MSN web site that addresses this problem(s), but it is way over my head. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q314106&amp 73 es gd DXing, SAH,K4KU http://www.qsl.net/k4ku
