[PCR-1000] Windows XP (Again Please)

Sun, 9 Jun 2002 00:56:59 -0400 (EDT)

Thanks, now all I have to do is be able to find the pcr1000.ini file, I
have looked but am not very good with XP yet, there is a main pcr1000 file
but I can't identify the .ini file, perhaps there is a special setting for
XP that will show all of the files I don't for sure. I believe I could
perform the edit if I could find fine the file.

Am finding a lot of other software is NOT compatible with XP either but
sure hope I can at least used my PCR1000 with it.
