[Dx4win] Upgrade from 8.05 to 9.01 with XP Pro

[John Shaw]

I too had a scale factor of 80 and have increased it to  110 to get 16 characters in the callsign box without going into the prefix box.  I also have played with the skins.  While before I think they used to cause window creep?  Now seem to stay put now. Nice.

Migration from V8 to V9 has gone well here. Often I will run old and new for a while till satisfied new isn't going to major distruct but having put V9 through my usual routines all seems fine and am up running with it now.

 Although it has been a long time since any updates for DX4WIN I was still mostly happy with V8 and enjoyed the many years of stable service from it.  I am now enjoying many of the improvements in V9.  Looks like it will be a stable friend for some time now.

Thanks all.

There appears to be two windows that are fixed in size. I had a scale factor of 80 on version 8. Moved up to 100 and the fixed windows look much better.....
Thanks for the tip ...Bob W1E

 Hello Ron,

File > Preferences > Screen > Scale Factor

The default is 100 (%), try something bigger.  If that doesn't give you the look you want, you may have to try changing the settings on your monitor.

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.
