[Dxbase] DXbase 2007 on another computer.

[Joe WA6AXE]

Joe,

Did you ALSO DELETE the dxb2007.ini file that is in the Windows directory .. when
you UNINSTALL DXbase2007 .. you also have to manually delete the dxb2007.ini from the
windows directory ...

What Operating System (OS) is the laptop running ??

Do you have ANOTHER version od dxbase on that laptop .. or is this a
virgin laptop with no dxbase on it at all??

Joe - what version of dxbase area you trying to install??
DXbase2007 ver 1.10 ??

There are NO Registry that is causing this .. your dxb2007.ini file in your
windows directory runs the program .. the only thing in registry is your
REG file contents ...
