Re: Problems with Exit (F7) from SHELL menu under XP

One thing you could try to troubleshoot this is the following:

• Copy the desktop icon that runs an application the behaves correctly,
  

• Paste the copy back to the desktop and right click it to rename it,
  

• Right click again and select Properties, then change only the Program Tab Cmd Line & Working entries

Check to see if cures the problem.

Good luck,

Dear all Dataperfect users

 

I normally use DP under Shell (the version of Shell.exe from 1991). When I put the various parameters right for Windows to run this (memory etc.)  this goes smoothly. But on one particular PC (Win XP) I cannot exit (close) the SHELL menu with F7. The only way is to exit is via Taskmanager (Shell does not die, nor does the PC, I just cannot close shell). It puzzles me, for on another PC with (seemingly) the same parameters fro running Shell under XP I have no such problem. Does any of you have a clue?

 

I also discovered that if I do not set my parameters right in XP I often get “strange” characters when using some of the function keys in DP, especially F7 and its shifted combinations (whether under shell or not). I am not sure exactly what goes on, but this I seem to have solved – at least for the moment)

 

With bets regards
