Does anyone have a fix for iLink so you don't have to keep rebooting Windows XP to mmake it work from an icon. I read of a solution on the aacnet site regarding this but his trick did not work for me.

Well the only things I have read about is what they have been saying on the ilink board realy two things. The forst one is you clcik on the exe each time before you stat it up and pick compadibility windows 98 and they say it boots up but you need to do this every time.




The other thing I heard is you have to download the zip file only and open in a file you make on your drive C:/Ilink and if you go in there and click on the .exe file its reported to work you just cant use a shortcut or let it load useing the .exe file Not sure if any of this helps you but good luck

Well, I have tried all of the advice you have indicated before I sent my message and it works intermittently on XP. I'm sure there will be a fix for the XP problem coming. I have iLink installed on a Me machine and no problems for me. Thanks.

I have been trying a few more options to get iLINK on XP run without having


to reboot.






I run iLINK from c:iLINK directory.






I changed the compatibility setting to Windows 98 / Win ME.






If I start the program by clicking on the link.exe in the c:ilink directory


and then click on BEGIN and DO NOT have a QSO or any audio TX or RX and shut


the program down I am able to restart the program and I can do this over and


over.






If I start the program by clicking on the link.exe in the c:ilink directory


and then click on BEGIN and HAVE a QSO or ALLOW audio TX or RX and shut the


program down I am NOT able to restart the program.






After this ...






If I go into the c:ilink directory and RIGHT CLICK on link.exe and open the


compatibility tab where I see the setting already set to Windows 98 / Win ME


and then click OK.






The program will run again.






I wonder if other XP users might like to try the above and see if this works


for them and let the group know.
