RE: ProntoEdit and Win2K

["Matt Kummell" <kummell@xxxxxxx>]

I _think_ I’ve sorted it out….  The BSoD screens were coming up with various errors including messages about KMODE and IRQL…  “Googling” these error messages took me t the Microsoft site that kept mentioning “bad bios or device driver”… since I was already at SP2, I decided to give the BIOS a whirl…  went to the MSI site, downloaded and applied it – it works!

 

It seems t be running pretty nicely now, time will tell, though, eh?

Are you running any other software that uses IR/COM devices, eg Palm HotSync ? Check there are not conflicts with the com ports.

 

I got the blue screen, turned out t be a conflict with the HotSync software that was already installed. I now sync via IR, not COM1:

What version of Pronto Edit are you using? I've been using it for 12 months or more under Win2k with no problems.

Folks –

 

I just couldn’t wait – I went out and bought a Pronto 2MB instead of waiting for the Pronto Pro colour version promised later this year…. Just couldn’t bring myself t part with that much dough and thought the Pronto would be a good learning tool (and help me get rid of my “Remote Mountain” in the sitting room – getting a little grief from the girlfriend about that!)

 

Now to my problem…  Anyone out there running ProntoEdit with Windows 2000?  Since I’ve installed it I’ve been getting a strange series of the “Blue Screen of Death” – quite frustrating!  Win2K was pretty stable for me until I installed PE this afternoon…  Their page says it works on Win95, 98 NT “or higher”

 

Any pearls of wisdom out there?

 

Thanks!

 

Matt
