[Dxbase] My summary window dilemma

[Doug McDuff]

I am not a computer expert, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express (tm) 
last night.

However, I am still running XP Pro on the radio computer and have done 
so with both AMD and Intel processors.  In fact, I have done so with 
several AMD configurations.

And in each instance with AMD, there came a point in time where I can 
only describe the computer as acting "flaky" including the operation of 
DXbase.  Since switching to an Intel MB and processor, I have had no 
such problems.

This is not meant as an indictment of AMD, just my personal observation. 
  And I was never able to pinpoint why I had the "flaky" behavior.

In any event, I hope you will be able to work it out.

73, Doug W4OX
