Remember a Fluke 43B?

[ptonsparky]

I have a Fluke 43B. Software is on my Windows 10 laptop with a recently purchased USB adaptor for communications with it.
That all works with the exception of when I would like to Start Logging of Readings when an Insufficient Memory warning pops up.

I have 6G of RAM and more than enough disk space. Any ideas?

There are (were, I hope) some applications that didn't plan for the disk and memory sizes common today. I've had SOME success running them in a virtual box with 256k of ram and 256 meg of disk space.

You might have something there.
I have no problem when running the logging on my laptop with the old XP Professional OS.

I'll have to figure out how to do it or resurrect one of the old laptops.

Thanks.

Given that you throw XP into the discussion, I'll add more comments. I use an older version (2002) of AutoCAD with an extensive custom menu system. When Autodesk updated it (to 2004), I bought it. I was unable to adapt the menu system, and reverted to my old faithful. When I replaced my XP system with 7, it wouldn't run. MicroSoft knew of these incompatibilities and offered an XP virtual machine of its own ... I survived with that.

Now with 10, that included XP capability is gone. I owned a copy of XP and use virtualbox (virtualbox.org) to run XP with AutoCAD 2002 and multiple other programs that MicroSoft broke.

Blame MicroSoft.
