Map65 v3.0 will not work in my Windows XP machine where v2.7 has lived in the past.
"...procedure entry point CancelIoEx could not be located..." Guess this should have been expected. Time to upgrade the hardware to Win 7 or greater. |

There is some advantage. While true that Windows 7 is no longer
supported, that is actually an advantage for dedicated task specific
machines. The connection to the "mother ship" is severed and none
of those pesky updates that destroy configurations, or reboot the
machine with software running that is performing a needed task.
Most of the runtime packages will run with manual install.
Granted, I would not surf the web or put any critical information on
the machine, but personally, I would never do critical work with any
Microsoft product.
A Windows 7 box running WSJT-X, FLDigi, perhaps the latest version of Log4OM (task specific to ham radio) will do great. At this point, because MS is no longer supporting it. They are not even worried about activating the copy, so it's basically the way every operating system should be. Free. PS - I downgraded a Windows 10 box to Windows 7 because I got tired of Windows 10 rebooting and dropping the GRLevel3 radar feed to my web site. Since the downgrade, the machine has not been rebooted in 4 months. Just sits there are runs GRLevel3 feeding the web site 24/7/365. On 6/6/21 3:36 AM, Bill Somerville
