RAVE and Win 10

**p38arover** · 16th June 2020, 03:24 PM

I have a genuine version of RAVE V015-2 which covers the L322, P38A, and Defender (all up to 03/2003).

I just did a Win 10 upgrade and it no longer runs under Win 10. Dunno if it's owing to the Win 10 upgrade. Acrobat starts then it all stops. Doesn't even appear in Task Manager.

Doe anyone else have it running on the latest iteration of WIN 10 Pro, i.e., 2020-06 Cumulative Update to Windows 10 Version 2004

Off to see if it will run under WINE on my Linux Mint machine. I've never used WINE (I only drink it).

'Tis a nuisance as I use it quite often to answer questions on here and elsewhere, snipping and posting images from RAVE. I'd rather have it here than on another PC. I have it running on my iPad and iPhone - you never know when you'll need it when travelling.

Maybe I need to uninstall the update for a test.

mine runs fine,, was it something to do with having an early version of acrobat?

Anything's possible. RAVE comes with a modded Acrobat 4.

I reverted to an earlier version of Win 10, Version 1909 and it runs again.

I tried getting RAVE to run on my Linux Mint machine under WINE but with no luck. I obviously have no idea what I'm doing.

Does your RAVE CD have a collection of pdf files? On my Linux machine, I just open those files directly. I've been doing it that way for about 14 years.

EDIT: Actually that is my "The Landy CD", not RAVE.
Further edit: On the RAVE CD, I right click on RAVE.exe and then click on Wine Windows Program Loader.

You could try using compatibility mode

I have a win 10 pro and Rave opens up fine on my laptop, when Acrobat comes up its the # version 4 # edition.

What version of 10 Pro?

**disco gazza** · 17th June 2020, 05:56 AM

Version 1909
build 18363.836

(assuming Acrobat reader, and not full version) .. Get rid of Acrobat, use SumatraPDF instead. Much less bloat.

I’m laying in bed at hospital at the moment so I can’t try anything.

RAVE files won’t open with standard Acrobat (Reader or Pro). One needs the modded version included with RAVE.
