Hi all,
Thanks to those hams who already sent me suggestions to try to resolve the
incorrect display when I launch CTWIN on an XP machine.
Here is a copy of the responses I sent back of what I tried and I
really don't have much more time to spend on fixing this problem for my amigo
here in Mexico, before I head back stateside.
I will make one more attempt to get his display screen fixed on Thursday
afternoon, and then will have to leave it for next visit or until he maybe gets
anothr video card or newer machine. The machine it is on was running WIN98 and
then he had someone load XP on it which I warned him would not let his DOS
version of CT run anymore and then to add insult to injury, I can't get CTWIN
to run on it with correct screen
The [progra fill sthe entire window but the info fields only fill the upper
half of the screen ! The bottom half is just black or whatever color one
selects in Properties...at least that feature works but in the wrong protion of
the window
Anyway here's a copy of my response to other suggestions so you wil know whatI
have trried already.

Hi Mal,
Well no dice on the fix foer CTWIN with teh logging page schrunched up into
the top half of the full CT window. The only thing I could change was the color
of the bottom half of the window which of course containe no logging
info...here is copy of my response to another fellow on what I tried. I think
per the CT website it is an incompatibility problem with his video card and I
don't have much knowledge or patirnce to work on computer problem like this all
day long, especially when I come to Mexico to RELAX !
Hi Gunter,
Well today I arrived at the QTH of my amigo Pepe XE2MX in Ensenada
and tried your suggestion of adding -vga when going into program
ie: testcw -vga and yes it opens a large window but the log program page still
only fill sthe top half of that window
I also tried other peoples suggestions of also trying -reset when you log in
and also either right clicking the mouse on the shortcut Icon on my desktop
and selecting properties and changed the Height and Width sizes and nothing
changes! I also launched the program and when in the logging window I right
clicked on upper part of page and again selected properties and tried changing
Height and width ( also FULL SCREEN )and all kinds of settings but to no avail.
One of the responses directed me to the K1EA website where I read that
depending on the Video card and chip sets, one might hve to really play games
to get the display to work. At that point I gave up as I do not work in the
computer field and only someone that eats bits and bytes for breakfast was
going to solve this video display problem.
I wil CC this respons eto the reflector but unless it's some simple fix, I am
not goping to spin my wheels anymore on CTWIN for Pepe's computer.
Best we just wait til he upgrades to another newer computer and see if we get
lucky on getting CTWIN to display properly.
