[Flexradio] Windows ME
The specifications page on flex-raioo.com lists Win 2000 and XP as supported operating system. Does anyone know if PowerSDR will/.will not run on Windows ME?Not looking for a statement of formal support, just if it is known if the software can't run on ME, and if so if anyone recalls why it does not run on ME that would be helpful as well. Regards, Bill (kd5tfd)
Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
A wise old shaman once said Windows bad. Windows ME VERY bad PowerSDR might run on it, but I support a lot of diverse IT environments and Windows ME has so many incompatibilities with so many things and is not very stable. Our standard method of fixing WinME problems is to upgrade to WinXP. It has worked 100% of the time. The little money spent for the upgrade significantly out weighs the pain, frustration and expense of trying to resolve ME driver issues. MS should have never released ME. I would not recommend anything less than Win2000 for any serious computing endeavor. If you can afford it, the Win2003 core is better than Win2K and WinXP for security and code execution. -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Tracey Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 12:16 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Windows ME The specifications page on flex-raioo.com lists Win 2000 and XP as supported operating system.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
Hi Bill, I tried installing and running PowerSDR in ME in VMWare. PowerSDR stops at the splash screen Initializing DSP. I would guess that the differences in threading between NT and Win9X is the problem. I am not sure if the pthread code is compatible with Win9x... Looking at the PowerSDR process it appears that the code is blocked on thread start up. Thank goodness for VMWare... 73 de Phil N8VB On 9/20/05, Bill Tracey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The specifications page on flex-raioo.com lists Win 2000 and XP as supported operating system.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
pthreads used Win32 calls at its heart but makes use of critical sections to achieve speed where possible. I believe that Win32 covers 98. Nothing covers ME. I bought a copy when it came out and promptly unloaded it. I gave it to my mother in law. . . . ;-) Bob Philip Covington wrote: Hi Bill, I tried installing and running PowerSDR in ME in VMWare.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
Phil -- thanks for taking a look at this - this confirms what one of the folks trying to get going with a SoftRock is seeing on ME. It seems ME was one of those Windows evolutionary dead ends. I'll agree VMWare is a wonderful bit of code. Regards, Bill (kd5tfd)

Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
There are various parts of our application that require an NT OS. The one that I know of for sure is the dynamic database creation component -- it states explicitly that it will not work in a Win9x environment. I suspect that named pipes, pthreads, etc. will also cause problems. Win2k and XP are the only supported operating systems for PowerSDR at the moment. I suspect that will be expanded to include Win2k3 in the near future.

If you are using a 64-bit processor, the Delta 44 64-bit beta driver will load under Win2003.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
Eric, The beta driver is for 64-bit processors only. I would assume that it would work at some level even if it loads. The 64-bit beta driver didn't specifically say it was for Win2003, but it loaded just fine. I suspect that you should contact them about Win2003 support for 32 and 64-bit device drivers. -Tim --- Integrated Technical Services -Original Message- From: Eric Wachsmann - FlexRadio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 1:29 PM To: Tim Ellison Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Windows ME Good to know.
