Re: Staying with XP after April 8 2014 (was Win 7 vs Win 8)

If the problem was hardware specific, I would guess it would be a problem
unlikely to come up in a VM. One of the nice things about VMs is that
there are several systems to choose from. If one doesn't work with
XyWrite (as for instance VirtualBox in Win 8.1 didn't work for me; there
were just too many intractable problems), you can always use another.

Then the issue must be
hardware-specific, because there was never such a problem here.

I don't even clearly recall what problems Tame was supposed to
resolve.  Xy4DOS has always been on my XP systems, and I never found
any need to investigate Tame.  But then I nearly always run Xy
fullscreen, so if it has anything to do with running with less than the
entire screen I wouldn't know.







Without Tame, I couldn't get XP to show me Xywrite in anything but a
teeny tiny window. As I recall, this was a very common problem. With
Tame, I can run Xy either in a very large window or in full
screen.
