[600MRG] WSPR Software Problems

[Pat Hamel]

Dick,
I no longer have the documents for the WSPR software.
You may need to shut down a lot of things that normally run on the DELL to
get enough memory to run WSPR.
You may not have a new enough Pentium to run the software.
I had the same problem with my wife's genealogy computer and found that the
required new "windows" is forcing businesses to upgrade their
was-top-of-the-line machines.
I bought a very fast machine "back from lease" that would run her DOS
genealogy software as well as the latest software for XP at a very good
price.
Check your local computer repair and business-support (NOT CHAIN) stores if
your machine is not overloaded or too out-of-date according to the WSPR
documentation.
73,
Pat /6

Subject: [600MRG] WSPR Software Problems

Greetings everyone

My trusty HP-Laptop died and it would cost more to fix it than buy
something used but good.

Before buying something newer I have pressed into service our Windows-XP
based DELL computer.

I have loaded, first, the WSPR2.12 software and tried to run it. The WSPR
screen appeared and I loaded in the station parameters, unclicked "idle",
set TX to 0%
and waited for the first RX-cycle.

Imagine my dismay as the first RX-cycle started and an error message
appeared saying a "Runtime error" had occurred and the program shut down.

So, I then unloaded the WSPR2.12 software from the computer and downloaded
WSPR2.0 software and was greeted by the same failure notice.

Any suggestions/guesses as to what my problem might be ? Looks like a new
computer is needed in the worst-case but maybe one of you have already
experienced the problem and found a 'fix'.

Tnx for any help . . .
