Some weeks (months?) ago there was a thread about running under xp. I didn't pay much attention to it as I didn't have xp running on any of my machines. Now I do, and I've got fractint running on an xp installation.
If it all got figured out, fine; if not, you can contact me privately and I'll be glad to tell you what I did.
I looked for fractint archives, but failed to find them. Do they exist?

Is it possible? I've been unsuccessful so far. I still have a win 98 partition I can boot with, but don't need it for anything else anymore.
Anyone?
but Fractint don't run very fast under Win XP, I must push [Enter] when generating a fractal, then it run fast for c. 10 lines and slow down until the next [Enter] get pushed... cheers, Guy

Sounds like WXP is giving it some clock time, then reacting to Fractint which maybe appears to be idle because it's polling for keyboard input and not getting any.
In what manner are you running FractInt under XP?? 1. From the START | RUN selection.
yeah..
2. From an icon shortcut on the Desktop.
no..
3. From a PIF link to the program.
no..
Have you checked the Properties if running from a link or icon?? If it is like the Win-95 and 98, then you may have settings you can adjust, such as "Idle Sensitivity" (which should be at Low).
Thanks, I'll try this and tell you about the results..

cheers, Guy **************************** I was for about 6 weeks in Australia. In the meantime I had no time to resolve my Fractint problem not running properly on Windows XP, but the problem is still the same (see email #1). Cheers, Guy
