Problems?
If you have problems and want to ask
for help, please do the following:
Execute the file: C:\itshfbc\bin_win\sysinfo.bat
If you did not use the default installation directory, C:\itshfbc
will be different.
This will create the file: C:\itshfbc\bin_win\sysinfo.txt
Please include that file in your Email with a detailed description of your
problem.
Note for Windows-NT/2000/XP installation:
The
icons to execute the software may not install properly on Windows-NT/2000/XP
systems. Here is a solution:
This problem should be solved with version 04.0202 using the Tarma Installer
©.
Execute the software from Start/Programs/ITS HF Propagation/....
You can also now execute any of the ..\bin_win\*.exe files directly
If you can do the above, you can create an icon on the desktop by:
Start/Programs/ITS HF Propagation
right mouse click while the mouse is over ITS HF Propagation
and pick Explore
Then do a right mouse click on ITS HF Propagation and pick
Send to > Desktop
You can then change the desktop icon to c:\itshfbc\icons\itshf.ico
The above is true only if you use the default installation.
Please
let me know if this does not work.
Actually, let me know if it
does work!!
