[Dxbase] JT65HF Bridge and Windows7

[Joe WA6AXE]

Dave,

WELL .. I don't know what to tell you now -- I JUST finished installing the Regular JT65-HF program
(from sourceforge.net) -- and since ver 1.07 is the ROCK SOLID ONE --- I installed THAT VERSION ---
NOT the latest beta version ---- on my Windows7 64 bit LAPTOP computer ....

Then I installed my Bridge -- placed it into my DXbase2007 main directory ... 

FYI -- on my Windows7 64 bit LAPTOP -- I am NOT running my BRIDGE (EXtra) program with the
properties of "Run as adminstrator" -- not needed in this case --

FYI -- on my Windows7 64 bit LAPTOP --  I "AM RUNNING" DXbase2007 with the properties (Compatability TAB)
of Run as adminstrator ..

FYI -- on my Windows7 64 bit LAPTOP -- I am NOT running the Basic JT65-HF ver 1.07 program with the
properties of "Run as adminstator" -- not needed in this case ---

DXbase2007 ver 1.09 (on my windows7 64 bit machine) is in  C:\DXbase2007
Basic ver 1.07 JT65-HF program itself is in default location of:  C:\Program Files (x86)\jt65hf
My Bridge for JT65-hf (Extra version) is located in  C:\DXbase2007

MY Windows7 64 bit machine's UAC (User Account Control) is set on  Never Notify  (Turned OFF) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I callup DXbase2007 and the Basic JT65HF program -- then callup my BRIDGE -- the two ICONS are
solid GREEN (both) -- so, I know that everything SHOULD BE OK ...

Then I make SURE that I have setup DXbase to AutoSave QSOs ---

Then -- I simply  (to test the system of logging a qso to dxbase directly) press the JT65HF program's  "Log QSO"
button -- and I manually fill-in the info -- since I am only playing with the program right now --- and I then press
the "Log Contact and Close this window" button  -- and  

VOILA --- the QSO info is NOW in DXbase2007 and has been autosaved ... When you setup the BASIC JT65HF
program (version 1.07) from sourceforge.net -- ALWAYS take the defaults -- DO NOT try to force the
files into any other place than the DEFAULTs ...

I NOW -- have a Windows7 64 bit LAPTOP that is ready to run JT65-HF  ...  so, I do not KNOW Dave, what
you might have setup differently as compared to what I have given you above ---  it WILL WORK is all that I can say ...

Try to duplicate the setup (above) that I did -- and see what happens ...

Good Luck
