Hi Paul, John and others who replied to this SUBJECT My comments are in CAPITALS
For the record the tests are done on a XP PRO computer with NTFS file system fresh installed last week and DX4W602. Some fine tuning of XP is required or should I say needed ! > 1. Existing 6.02 problems (under Windows XP Home anyway) > o PSK31 mouse double click still does not populate the QSO window fields > properly (known bug) > **** This has been reported previously, but typically for systems that > upgraded to XP. On a number of XP systems this works as expected. > Looks more like a MS upgrade issue to me at this time. THE DOUBLE CLICK WORKS FOR EVERY POSSIBILITY , CALL - RST - NAME ETC. 100 % CORRECT. > o If my packet, RTTY or rotator window fails to open (local problem with USB > ports and RF), the next time I open DX4WIN those windows are all over the > place, not where they belong. I have to re-set them. > **** Have to check this THIS I CAN STATE PAUL, WHEN FOR EXAMPLE YOUR RTTY (COM)PORT IS USED BY ANOTHER PROGRAM DX4WIN CAN'T OPEN THIS DEVICE, THIS IS NORMAL. CLOSING DOWN ALL RUNNING APPLICATION AND RESTART DX4WIN RESETS YOUR RTTY WINDOW SETUP ALL SETTINGS FOR RTTY IN PREFERENCES ARE STILL CORRECT BUT THE WINDOW POPS UP LIKE YOU CONFIGURED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME > o PF3 causes a large DOS box to appear before the callsign/lookup window > appears when DX4WIN is opened with a shortcut. Changing the Starting folder > does not help.

What > data source are you using? Just wondering if other XP users see the same? NEVER SAW THIS , ALSO DURING THE BETATESTS NEVER SAW ONE DOSBOX ! I WAS TESTING SIMULTANEOUS UNDER W98SE(FAT32) - WINDOWS 2000 PRO (NTFS) AND ALSO XP PRO (NTFS) , LIKE I NOTICED BEFORE IT IS RELATED TO OS PROBLEMS, MOST OF THE PROBLEMS REPORTED BEFORE ARE UNDER XP HOME AND FAT32 , DX4W601 HAD THE PROBLEM WITH NTFS FILE SYSTEM AND IS FIXED IN DX4W602. > o Re above, if I set Automatic Update, a search begins on the first > character typed with no delay, which ties things up for a while and prevents me from completing typing the call > *** On-line has a warning about this; bet you have the callsign update option enabled. by K2CIB >In answer to PF3 and XP Home...yes, I am seeing the same. I use the >RAC, saved to disk, and Golist. I have Callsign Update checked, and Automatic >Update checked. If I open DX4WIN from a shortcut, this dos window problem >exists.

NEVER SAW A DOSBOX APPEAR? > 2.
