Hi Gang
My computer packed-up the other day so I bought a new one. I installed a program called: ÔHome JukeboxÕ which is an older DOS program that controls my CD players, yes I said DOS! On the old computer it ran perfectly. One my new computer it too runs perfectly except for the fact that it does not save any of the preferences I set-up.
For instance, it requires a serial number and my name, which I type in and it accepts, I then tell it what CD players I have and it accepts that too. If I quit to the DOS prompt and start the program again from the DOS prompt it remembers my settings, but if I re-start, re-boot the computer it tells me I am running the program unregistered and it does not remember any of my settings, registration information.
All of my information is correct, it ran fine on the old computer.
The old computer was a 486, the new one is a Intel Celeron 300. The program does work on the new computer except for keeping my settings. I tried both copying the entire program from the old computer ( had it backed up to CD ) and re-installing from the original installation disk.
I looked at the file attributes to make sure that they are NOT read only. IÕm at a real loss here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Glenn
