Fellow DxBase Users I have successfully installed DxBase 2002 on a new computer an AMD Athlon 1600XP with 512 meg of memory. It really runs great compared to how it ran on my Pentium II 350MHz, but I have noticed one problem. On the new computer my operating system is Windows ME and on the Pentium I am running Windows 98 SE.
To encounter this problem you must have a band country total that exceeds 2000. I don't consider myself a big gun, just little pistol that has been chasing DX for almost half a century. I have received the ARRL "Challenge" plaque and chase band countries. My current band country total is nearly 2200 if I include 30 meters. Here is the anomaly using the new computer, it runs without error on the Pentium II. If I want to see my current band country total I click on Output\Awards\DXCC and place a check in all bands 160 - 6 meters. I then click on "Compute". As soon as the total reaches 2000 DxBase stops incrementing the "Number Entries" total and also stops incrementing the individual bands. This only happens on the new computer. I can work around the problem simply by only running bands who's total doesn't exceed 2000 and them running it again on the remaining bands and adding the two. I do think there is a problem and do hope for resolution. 73 Dave -N4DB-
