- Hi All!
-
- Has anyone been able to successfully transfer files
- in the background while working in another window. I
- cannot get procomm for windows to work!!! It works
- fine until I alt-tab to another window, then I get
- errors (CRC, UART Overflow, etc.). When I change back
- into the window where I am doing the transfer (procomm
- for windows), the transfer continues fine. I am also
- having this problem with UUCICO (unix file transfers),
- and Telix (DOS comm software). It does not happen
- every time. Sometimes (20% of the time) the transfer
- works ok. After spending a week talking to Microsoft
- with 2 dozen unseccessful attempts, I am told that
- I may not get it to work at all. I am told (by one
- Microsoft technician) that he does the transfer with Telix
- and Procomm all the time with no trouble. I have tried
- everything! Even a brand new windows installation with a new
- copy of windows 3.1!!!
-
- Any help would really be appreciated as I totally stuck
- with no more ideas from Microsoft.
-
- Dave
