Derek Sometimes in Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium SP1 on my PC, I get notifications from Windows saying that a program running isn't compatible with the colour mode and it switches to Windows basic colours without transparency (aero glass or whatever) upon coming out of 'Sleep' or low power mode when I['ve left the PC on overnight. Usually there's only QPC2 running, occasionally Windoze Live Mail if I forget to close it down at the end of the day. QPC2 keeps running OK (well, apart from my occasional mis-programmings!) Most probably a driver issue, whether it be graphics or the 'sleep' power management, but QPC2 is the programming consistently open when the notification is given. Apart from that, no other issues came to light so far. Dilwyn ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm Hi Dilwyn, Usually the problem is how the Windows Operatin System is setup, I have found over the years, that the main problems surround the driver software that Microsoft write. Such a pity that native QL drivers could not access the hardware ports easily. OK TCP can be used, but I sometimes struggle to connect a browser from with QPC2.

This was not intentional but apparently happened with the switch to the Visual Studio 2010 compiler suite. The compiler does not support creating EXE files for Windows version less than XP SP2 anymore. But requiring a 10 years old OS doesn't sound too unreasonable.

Had that happen occasionally on my industrial PC at work. And after having been forced to upgrade my laptop to Windows 7 zoomed QPC2 windows now like like sh*t whereas on XP on the very same hardware everything worked perfectly. Just not much I can do about it I'm afraid. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] QL Today + DVD (QPC2)
I thought I would just add my pwn comments on the sad demise of QL-Today. Many thanks for all of the efforts and contributions which have been made over the years - I always enjoyed reading the magazine and following various articles. It was interesting that, despite being a member of the QL-users mailing list and also the QL forums, there were always snippets of news which never found their way into other avenues of disseminating information. It was interesting to see that the former owner of SD Microsystems who wrote some of the early business software, acquired this issue out of interest and we have been talking about the QL Wiki. One minor comment that has come back from him is that the version of QPC2 on the DVD could not access his disk drives, whereas q-emulator could - seems very odd - has anyone else noticed this? -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services Specialist Enuuk Auction Programming Services www.rwapservices.co.uk ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

If q-emulator is running while starting QPC2 the drives may be locked for QPC. In SMSQ/E you can use WIN_REMV (from q-emu) to share the QXL.WINs, but that only works if no files are open. Else check the SMSQ/E configuration for the drives. Bob -- The BSJR QL software site at: http://members.upc.nl/b.spelten/ql/ ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

I am in touch with Stephen on this one. He seems to be having general problems with QPC2 that are difficult to understand. I've got an idea on how to help him, but I have a little work to do on it. Incidentally because he was an early QL software developer (and also other early systems) he has a QL compatible printer, but he says he is having difficulties printing out from Qemulator, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
