[Dxbase] DXBase2006 on Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bits

[Knut Meland]

 I have tried this, and it works as far as I can see now.
I had to start Notepad and open mycall.reg from there. Saving it in the DXBase directory will not work, so I had to save it in a document folder. I named it mycall_64.reg. From there it was a piece of cake, just doubleclick on the file and voila! 
To those confused: I use the 2006 version, not 2007.
Thanks, Joe and Jack! 

After downloading Microsoft files to get the Help work, I still get an error message when activating Help: Problem runnung macro (1037).
Not a big problem as long as I can use the Help-function, but still I would like to eliminate it...

>>  1) go the system prompt
>>  2) click on "start search" and type in regedit and do a "enter"
>>  3) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it
>>  4) find the folder "Wow6432Node" and in it place a new folder

>>  Solutions" and into this one another " Dxb2007"
>>

>>
>>  5) in that folder create a new entry called "Key"  (you will have to

>>  the " new key#1" into "Key"), Note: this is not another subfolder - it

>>  6) go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the existing 32 bit folder that says
>>  Scientific Solutions and under Key copy the text string associated
>>  with it,
>>  to do this click on the name Key and a little edit window opens up. In
>>  Value data you see the key value highlighted in blue. Copy this value
>>  by right clicking on it.
>>  7) go back to the new folder created in the Wow6432Node as Key and
>>  paste the
>>  text value into it.
>>  Note: the newly entered folder and key value in the Wow6432Node folder
>>  must look exactly like the one under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE,
>>  Scientific Solutions - these entries are case sensitive - be accurate!
>>
>>  8) close the registry
>>
>>  Restart DXbase2007 and it will work.
