I have NotePage running on my two machines that need to page,
One required "upgrading" one old machine with another "not quite as old" machine. I needed to copy the "install" to a CD, and installed it on both machines from the CD.

Works fine now .... Thanks

PostForum: NotePager Pro Support   Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2008 8:58 am   Subject: Set-up help with OLD (junk) computers
I moved this from general helt to this forum in hopes that SOMEBODY could help

We have been using, for YEARS, "Alfie-it" (a dos program) and am down to only 5 pagers, from 35, 10 years ago.

We have had little problems with it until USA mobility turned off a local terminal access number.
I was given a "UVA" ( universal access) number.
The UVA needs a 10 digit "account number"
( aka - pager number with area code)

Because "Alfie-it" won't take an "account number" over 8 digits,
I went on the hunt for another "free" paging program.

I found NotePage 32, which seems to work fine
( after I transfered it to my laptop, because it is
the only computer in the house with a modem that
I could EASILY get a telephone line to. - worked great !

Now for my PROBLEMS

we have two old computers that are used for word processing and paging,
nothing else, both are old p2's with windows 98 without network access.
and I found out today without usb support, so I can't transfer it via a flash drive..

I copied the files to 2 floppies and tried to install them.
The old machines don't have a "windows/prefetch" folder, so I made one and placed the PF files in it.

On one machine it can't find the modem, while I KNOW it's on port 2

On the second machine notepage won't run at all, error message
" missing *** dll " I forgot to write down the name of the dll because by this point it was time to "give up" for today.

Can anyone shed some light on my problems, so I can get this done
sometime Monday ?

Thanks
