If you read that we recreated the problem, that was incorrect. I misunderstood what the tester reported. The configuration wizard runs fine under the 32-bit version of Vista we tested.

We're going to test another system tonight.

A few more questions:

Did the manual configuration work for you?

Are you running on a dual-core machine?

How much memory do you have installed?

Any chance you can upgrade to Windows 7?<hr>

I held off trying the manual configuration until I had tried Beta 269. I tried it this morning & it failed with the following:

%XNV-w-NOREST: NVRAM could not be restored from C:&#92;Alpha&#92;AXP_Serial.nvr
ESL-F-FAIL: Emulator Failure:
Runtime exception: CTB-W-NOBIND: Could not bind socket to listen on!
: ..&#92;..&#92;src&#92;esl&#92;com&#92;TelnetBroker.cpp, line 110, function 'CTelnetBroker::CTelnetBroker'

I am running on a Dell Latitude D830 with the following processor & 4 GB of RAM:

Intel(r) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T770 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

I would be unable to upgrade to Windows 7 at this time. I hope to eventually upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit, but I don't know how soon I will be able to do this.

Please post your configuration file.

We've tested on the following hardware without seeing the problem:

Windows Vista Ultimate SP2
Intel Core-2 duo CPU T9300 @2.5GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit

The message about NVRAM not being restored would be expected the first time you run the emulator. This message:

CTB-W-NOBIND: Could not bind socket to listen on!

Would seem to indicate that another application on your computer is already using the port number used for one of the serial ports. You can try changing these (9000 and 9001) to different port numbers. Modify the putty lines accordingly.
