[ct-user] CT & XP

[N7MAL]

Ron a year, or so, ago some W4 developed a system for booting your computer 
using an ISO image on a CD. I did it  and it works perfectly. Whenever I 
need to boot to my D: drive I insert the CD and tell the computer to 
restart. Your computer will think it is a DOS machine and you can install CT 
from a floppy with no problem. I think some of the instructions are on the 
K1EA website.

  Forgive me if this is a known issue -- I suspect it is -- but for the 
first
  time since I bought CT 6.17 at Dayton longer ago than I care to think 
about,
  I ran into a major problem with CT yesterday.

  Went to setup CT 10 on the "new" (OK, rebuilt) shack computer so I could 
run
  a little SS for the spare hour or so I had, and it locked up on me during
  initial setup.  Never at the same place, but I never got out of the setup
  screen.

  The new computer is running XP Pro SP2.  It replaced a Win98SE box.  Also,
  FWIW, I have the CT files stored on my D: drive instead of C: -- D: is a
  smaller FAT32 drive instead of an NTFS drive, neccesary to avoid problems
  with my primary logging and QSL management routines (written in dBase IV &
  Visual dBase 5.7... which, being 16 bit apps, don't handle NTFS long file
  names well, but THAT's another story altogether)

  SO, two simple questions:
  -- Is this a compatibility problem with CT & XP?
  -- And if so, should I switch to CTWin?

  I really hate to give up on CT.  It may be "old" software, but it's tried,
  true, and I'm used to it.

  73, ron w3wn
