[PCR-1000] Windows XP home

If you have a Palm you can use that to run the PCR - not up to TalkPCR
but at least the dust won't be sttling quite so thick!

You are one of the very lucky few, Windows XP Home Version on a Sony
Vaio running a 1.3 GHz AMD Athlon processor won't work whether the tool
bar is modified or not, the program generates a fatal error immediately
on execution.  TalkPCR does work (kind of) under XP but unfortunately
because I use a Macintosh in the internet and the Sony to control the
radio, I can't get any of the TalkPCR registration to work when the
files are downloaded to the Mac then copied to floppy disk and
transferred to the Sony.  I have tried this operation over and over and
have finally given up on it.

You should count yourself extremely lucky to be able to still use your
radio, mine just collects dust unless a friend with a Windows 95, 98 or
NT 4.0 machine comes by for a visit and I can load up the Icom 1.31
software and then use the radio for a few minutes.

Glad someone has made something work with that rotten XP operating
system, it has to be the worst piece of junk ever put out on the street
by the "gurus" at Microsoft.
