[Dx4win] Upgrade from 8.05 to 9.01 with XP Pro

[Ron Polityka]

Hello,

 I have a dedicated machine that runs XP Pro that is not connected to the Internet in any way. I have it connected to my K2 and K1 for CW keying but I do pull the plug to run a straight key, bug or the keyer inside the K2 and K1 rigs.

 I have been one of the longtime guys that uses the DX4WIN program since day one. So I decided to do the upgrade but I first went out and purchased a new USB Flash Drive. I backed up the entire folder for DX4WIN 8.05 version.

 I downloaded the new DX4WIN 9.01 and purchased the license. A few hours later I received my receipt and the V9 license file.

 I loaded the file onto the computer that is on the Internet running Win 7. I then loaded onto the XP Pro computer. I then copied my log file into the V 9.01. Everything opened up fine and seems to work great. Now for the real test. I did an update on the V 9.01 on the Win 7 computer. I copied the DX4WIN Version 9.01 file from the Win 7 computer to the XP Pro computer.

 I opened up my log file and everything is working fine. Now I just have to go and transfer some files I use in the DX4WIN for CW and PSK to their proper location.

 One thing I would like to do is make the windows larger on the XP Pro machine but I have a larger monitor I can use but that will be at a later time.

Thanks to Paul and the Beta Testers.
