Mangus: Having problems with Tuner Pro RT & Windows 95

I did searches on your message boards and on TGO still didn't turn up anything. When i go to the ALDL data logging it does nothing. I tried preferences and nothing happens and also i tried to look through the help file and it says it's missing but i see it in the directory. My windows XP desktop computer works fine but the Windows 95 laptop has problems with it. I saw the riched20.dll on your website so i figured that would fix it and still nothing. It just sits there when i try any of the features listed above. The rest of the features work however. Any help is greatly appreciated.
btw, the laptop is used solely for ALDL it has nothing on it but Windows 95 and a floppy drive. So i have no means other then a floppy disk to load programs or updateing it.

It is possible that you may need DCOM to be loaded to run on 95.
I've lost track of those things since it's been a while.
It definitly has to do with Win 95 communications though.
Do a search on some other ALDL software on the net and see what they recommend for 95.
I think you'll find something.

Yeah, I've never personally tested Win95, and I know registration fails on it. I don't really support it.

The problem really is most likely an issue with riched20.dll. Hate to say it, but theres not much I can do to help you (I have no convenient way of testing Win95).

Now back to my vacation... =)
