Has anybody had any (good) luck running Gforge or HF Lab using XP.
John's page says that v.91 will run under
XP? John's page says that v .91 will run under XP and it seems to --if
you don't try to display anything. Then it
crashes with an error message which. if traced down proves to be the old
"WOW" error from Windows NT (Does
Microsoft ever fix anything?). I struggled with it years ago with other
software and never found a working fix.
(I recently bought yet another PC with a Windows operating system and
have been kick myself ever since!)
Thanks for any help,
David

I got both working fine under Vista. In the case of HFLab, there was a
display error but I removed the "v" command (show 3D) from the parameter
file and it worked.

Thanks, Gilles,
I'll try to make that correction. Everything in Gforge except the dispay
seems to work.
I've lately been using it along with Paintshop pro for 2D display and
Pov-Ray for 3D.
