Thank you so very much for taking time to respond to me.
Happy Easter, if you observe.
I must ask, how are you and your family coping?
In my part of Canada, my age group will be eligible for vaccination soon.
At least the upgrade is not an additional problem to be concerned over.
With your recommendations, I will ensure my libx .dlls are libusb1.dll in either System32 ( for x32) OR SYS wow (for x64).
The Zadig link didn't work but I found v2.3 for all windows. I will attempt this tonight.
Would it cause any problems if they were both present?
I mean should only System 32 have the libusb and NOT SysWow for x32 bit usage?
The last OpenCBM I installed on Win7 was , I believe, V0.4.00.103, using i386(x32), so it is on my F: drive root.
I installed CBM Transfer, the latest version, as well and it is in Program Files (X86) for x32 bit use. It works by the way.
Now, will it make a difference which version of X32 VICE I use? Shall I just try and see which one works instead?
If I go that route, will I have a problem with lingering files, such as Vice.ini or Vice.log left over from versions that didn't work as I liked?
Do I have to search and destroy those files when changing versions? Does the active version of VICE overwrite the previous vice.ini and vice.log file?
Vice doesn't really have an installer, it just works from a folder.
I apologize for the length here, but if I am not clear to you, you will not be able to guide me.
Computer Science is not my first language, so I do blunder sometimes.
Many Thanks.
