Not much happening in Version 1 board so I was hoping someone here might help.
I installed Alpha 1.00 on my new Dell XP system and then immediately installed the 1.02 patch. Alpha 1.02 came up fine and I ran thru a number of functions in my app. I did notice that one script was running very slowly and was going to look into that.
However, I decided it would be a good thing to restart WINXP first. Once I did this, Alpha 1.02 would not load any longer. The task just stalls at the splash screen and I have to go to the task list (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and end the a5init.exe and also a5.exe tasks. WINXP then complains that it can't do end the task unless I end the 16-bit application support in XP. Then, no 16-bit apps will run until I restart.
So, I'm a dead duck so far. Are there any tips someone can give me or any "gotchas" to get a clean installation? I have a feeling it should work and that something went foul with the config.sys or some Alpha DLL. It makes no sense that A5 will load and run after the installation and then never run again after a restart of XP.
Thanks for any assistance on this. I hope you can tell me something encouraging. My 1.02 application is extensive and is polluted with XBASIC scripts which make a conversion to Alpha 4.5 VERY difficult.
Thanks very much ... Sam
