[CQ-Contest] MorseRunner under Windows 8.1

[Ron Settle]

John,

Make sure you DO NOT have morse runner installed in the "program files" or "program files(x86)" directories.  Having them installed there can cause the symptoms you are describing.  I typically install software of this type in a directory directly under the "C:\" root directory.  If a particular program still gives me issues, I set the compatibility mode for windows 7 and run it as an administrator. That typically fixes all ills.

I’m running v. 1.68 under W8.1 x64. Everything seems ok.

Has anyone been able to get MorseRunner working under Windows 8 or 8.1?

I recently had to go to a new machine running Windows 8.1 MorseRunner installs and appears to function, but cannot store any 'received' information.

I 'RichEdit line insertion error'
I communicated with the program's author, Alex VE3NEA, and he writes that he can no longer compile the program, so no further development is likely (or possible without heroic measures - my interpretation).

Anyone have any suggestions? Either some trick to get this program working, or a newer program that provides similar functionality?

Thank you and 73
