Hello smf_4ever,

 

I am still using A.P.E.1.17 with a 486 DOS box, it certainly has no trouble keeping up with my Atari's (I added a switch so I can swap between them) I didn't see much point in using windows or any of my newer computers

 

Have you discussed your proposal with Steven J Tucker? it seems to me that he would be the one guy with all the answers, he has been very forthcoming and helpful in my experience.

 

XP? what a brave soul you are, must be the impetuosity of youth....

If Ape DOS or Ape 95 works in Windows 2000, then it should work in Windows XP without any problems. However, the APE Website states "Native Windows application for Windows 95 & 98 only" so if they really mean that then you may be out of luck. I haven't tried APE in Windows 2000 and I'm most certainly not going to be running Windows XP any time soon, so perhaps someone else can pipe in as to whether or not it works.

A former coworker had a beta copy of XP and showed me one if its more interesting features. Select a program and hit Alt-Enter to get its properties.. one of the new options is to run it in one of several "compatibility modes". Programs that you're having problems with may work if you select an appropriate "compatibility mode" rather than having XP try to figure it out by itself.

Well.. Unfortunatley, Steve Tucker e-mailed me and let it be known that a VxD driver that is needed.. is not in XP.. so the differant modes for windows will not have any effect on the APE95 running at all.

 

Right now.. the only way to run APE (With ME..2000..or XP).. is APE DOS.. and with XP, i have been told that you must boot up your system in a DOS boot disk.. and run APE from the DOS command lines
