Hi Wolf
Thanks for the comment. So we may be getting somewhere, my SpecLab is
always installed outside the Windows/Programs folder, in C:/Comms, where
all my Radio stuff is. Both Windows7 and Windows10 complain on start up
of not being able to find the colour palette files. However until I
installed V2.92 on Win10 I didn't see this, after adding V2.92, V2.90
throws up the message also.
Maybe win7-on has some oddity.
Well I don't like Windows either, XP was OK, but K1JT software now
crashes the computer and locks it up, other stuff has stopped support
for XP. I was very cautious about Win 10 because of all the scare
stories, however by golly it is good.
I just checked the shack machine which has captures on my VLF Grabber
http://www.g3zjo.talktalk.net/vlfgrabber.htm and all 9 instances are
running fine so no more clues from this end.

Hi Eddie and all,
If SL is unable to load the colour palette files, you should try
installing it in a folder *outside* the usual 'programs'-thingy in
windows. Quite likely the hyper-nervous 'operating system' doesn't
grant file access to that folder, and all sub-folders.
Anyway, I've got a slow old PC where I installed windoze 10. I still
hate it (the "OS", not the PC) but maybe at given time, I will install
the C compiler there and try to debug it. I cannot promise anything
yet, because I am quite fed up with windows at the moment.
Cheers,
Wolf DL4YHF .

No :-)
I should remember never to trust my memory. Correction V2.92 b02 is
the newest, I was advised to try V2.90 b20, I only had V2.90 b16
available so stepped back to that.
It was my last email late last night, excuses, excuses. I could have
checked because they are both on this Laptop also. I have considered
V2.92 b02 to be flaky on display from my first use, I mentioned it to
Stefan. I had to start afresh with all my .config files it just
didn't like my old ones.
Something not seen before but happens now on both releases on both
machines is, constant messages on start up of "can't find the
Pallete" ie Sunrise, the default. Do you see this? I wonder if it
indicates that the two versions are using different locations to
store display information. I know a lot of set up information is
stored in memory.
