Re: [DX-CHAT] Question?

Sherman,   "Is Gates that greedy?"  Well, to repeat an old cliche, "Is the Pope Catholic?"    Without more information on the programs that no longer run (such as which ones) it's difficult to suggest a remedy.  But be aware that Micro$oft has been trying to discourage continued use of MS-DOS programs and will no doubt drop backward compatibility as soon as they think public opinion will let them get away with it.   In the interim, I'd suggest picking up a used older computer that is running Windows 9x (98SE preferable) and use that system for your logs, assuming that an upgrade path for your software and/or data is not available.  (I still keep my logs in dBase IV routines I wrote 10+ years ago, even though I'm also playing with Visual dBase 5.7, so believe me, I feel your pain!)   73, ron wn3vaw   When asked "If you had been in President Clinton's place, would you have resigned?", Republican Member of the House of Representatives Dick Armey replied:   "If I were in the President's place, I would not have gotten a chance to resign.  I would be laying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, "How do I reload this damn thing?" ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherman Harrison To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:47 AM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Question?

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).
