[Lowfer] Anyone using Argo in Windows 10 or 11?

[J D]

Just before 2022 ended, I finally ran across a way to get at least 
part-time Internet access at my farm listening site.  At last!  Now I 
can have a grabber and maybe do near-real-time reports from the field. 
But...

First problem, though, was that my trusty but ancient Acer Windows 7 
laptop developed charger port problems earlier in the year. Not only 
could the alleged computer shop not repair the charger port, they ended 
up ruining the entire motherboard in the process!  Bottom line: I no 
longer have a workable machine with either Windows Vista, 7, or 8 on it. 
(Yes, I'd even persuaded an antique Vista machine to play nice with Argo 
for a few weeks before its video adapter gave up and departed this world.)

Second problem: Argo will not work properly on Windows 11, as I found 
when I bought a new HP laptop.  It starts OK, appears to run, but will 
not capture the waterfall display in the images!  Only the outer shell 
of the Argo screen shows.  And, it also refuses to save WAV 
recordings...if you start one, it appears in the file manager but 
remains 0 bytes size, and disappears immediately when you click Stop.  I 
think I've done everything you can possibly do with compatibility mode, 
to no avail.

Third problem: Having once before run Argo with only minor difficulties 
in Windows 10 (occasional lockups, but otherwise full functionality), I 
bought a refurbished Dell laptop with 10 on it. Exact same result as 
with 10!  Argo installs, starts, runs, saves a lot of empty waterfall 
displays in the captures, won't save WAV files at all, and is immune to 
the ministrations of compatibility mode.

(Apparently some of the routine updates to W10 have since broken Argo 
which previously sorta-worked on my earlier installation, too.)

Suggestions for viable alternatives, or better still, workable fixes for 
Argo, will be most welcome.
