[RTTY] Help needed w/Win 7/Vista + DXPWIN (DXP38 software)

[Iain MacDonnell - N6ML]

It appears that the installer for DXPWIN is a 16-bit binary, and will
not run on 64-bit Windows, per:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756962.aspx

I think it should be possible to get the DXP38 working with N1MM
Logger without DXPWIN, though. N2AMG recently did quite a bit of work
in that area.

(hope that URL works!)

From there, go to the compatibility tab within the properties for that program and select having the program run within a level of compatibility. I just checked and there is a compatibility level that goes all the way back to Windows 95.
