• Help With FD 2.26sw Setup

    From Bryan Campbell@1:129/305 to All on Saturday, February 17, 2007 23:20:12
    Hello...

    I am trying to get my FrontDoor v2.26sw to work in XP PRO... and It will not work... When I load a Fossil Driver and then load FD ... All I get is a runtime error. IT will not load up.. I have tried to change all the settings in FDsetup and In Autoexec.NT and Config.NT to make it work... the only time it will work is if I use DOSbox and then my Fossil Driver will not work... Could anyone give me some help, advice, clues into what I need to do to get it to work...

    I am Trying to set up a BBS system...

    Thanks..

    Just a thought, but did you try TPPATCH the FD.EXE file and see if that fixes it? FD SHOULD load and just not init a modem or such if there is other problems. I don't think 2.26.sw was Y2K ready .....

    I tried the patch.... It did not work.... I think it errored out... I could not tell.. the messages was all in german.... But I do know the word nicht(NO).

    What else can I do to make it work... I have tried to talke to someone at defsol.se but I can not get anyone to answer back... I truly want to get FrontDoor 2.33 mL for my BBS But how can I do that without a way to make it work on my system... I am at a loss...

    Bryan,

    Can you post the specific error message you are receiving? Without further information, it's very difficult to diagnose your issue.

    I gave up on FD, although I could get it to work - sort of. Anyhow I switched to using Binkley and it's worked just fine for me for years. Dunno about BT and
    Windows, though, I use OS/2.

    I'm running fd 2.33 and it works fine... I think there's an issue with the SW

    exe files. Maybe talk to the reg site for canada or the US and they could work

    out a deal...
