Val4 install - Page 2 - Pace and Cap

Hi Ray

I am able to run Val 4 in virtual machine windows 7 professional
as is without using dos box

Once I am in Virtual machine XP mode I just
installed Val 4 as per the original instructions for the program.
1. I installed Val 4 on the Virtual Machine C drive
2. I made a trkmast folder on the C drive
3 I made a Val4 shortcut icon and placed it on the virtual machine
xp mode desktop
When I down load the cards I have them sent to the trkmast folder
on the virtual machine c drive for me that was tricky as download the RDSS file which also makes a trkmast file on request
then open Val 4 and type in the date and there it is

Just w/Dosbox,the program ran good the first few times and then it starts to hang.So inconsistent.I think Tom should try it that way and it might work for him.The best way to go is with Win7 Pro or Win7 Ultimate and just install the Virtual Machine XP Mode and everything works good.Thanks to Ted and Bill.Their support is always there for all.

Thanks to everyone regarding my problem. I am buying the Windows Professional today and will install the virtual XP.
