Windows XP compatible?

Post by mgomgo »

I may become a Windows XP user soon &nbsp; Although XP is not listed, will Atlantis run on XP? &nbsp;<br><br>I kind of figure it might, since Atlantis does run on NT.<br><br><br>Are there any features that do not function on XP?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>-michael

The latest version of Atlantis Ocean Mind - 1.0.5.90 - is Windows XP-compatible.

I will have a new pc in the office within the next few days. Win 2000 - my administrator says she is the only person who can install software to it. I do not believe her. He, he! Will Atlantis work with W2k if I take it from disc? :P

If you are not allowed to install new software, you could<br><br>a) copy the “c:\Program Files\Atlantis” folder from your old computer to a floppy disk(s) or CD-RW,<br>b) recreate the “c:\Program Files\Atlantis” folder on your new computer.<br><br>You might have to create Desktop and “Start &#124; Programs” shortcuts manually as well as associate Atlantis with the desired file extensions (“Tools &#124; Associate With Document Type...” menu command) and add the desired spellcheckers to the list of installed spellcheckers (“Tools &#124; Options...”, “Spellcheck”, “Spellcheck Systems and Dictionaries...”).

You could install Atlantis Ocean Mind to a floppy. Then launch it from that floppy on any computer.<br><br>First, launch Atlantis, and choose the "Tools &#124; Options..." command. Click the "Save Settings to File..." button, and save your current settings to a floppy as "Atlantis.ini".<br>Then copy the following files (if any) from the home folder of Atlantis to a floppy: "Atlantis.exe", "Atlantis.ats", "Format Palette.fpl".<br>Then copy the "Spellcheck" folder from the home folder of Atlantis to a floppy.<br><br>Now you could launch "Atlantis.exe" directly from that floppy on nearly any computer. Atlantis would read your settings from the floppy, and save them to a floppy on close too.
