Well, I got the new laptop, went for the 64-bit Vista OS. It's a Toshiba L305-S5907, Pentium dual-core T3200 processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard disk. Just finished installing the Personal Edition of Plato and FTN95, loaded my program, and it ran fine... almost completely.
Just one little glitch: When it executes the BEEP(I,J) statement we talked about in another thread, which was working great (giving a clearly audible BEEP tone) on the old system (WinXP), now on this Vista-64bit system it makes no sound. No crashes, no other odd behavior, the execution of the BEEP command works exactly as it did under Windows XP Pro. Except it's silent. All other sounds on this system work correctly, and yes, I have the volume on the system turned up to a "medium" level, and not muted.
That's after recompiling the FORTRAN code on the new system, with no changes to the FORTRAN code.
I haven't begun experimenting much with the new system, but will soon. Is this something you folks have seen before, on newer computers? |
