[chirp_users] Windoze 2k and CHIRP 0.2.2
Hoping for some help running CHIRP on a W2k machine. Used the CHIRP installer package to install. Ran without changes. Now, whenever I attempt to load and run CHIRP, the load halts and directs me to the "chirpw.exe" notepad file with these contents:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpw", line 25, in <module> File "gtk__init__.pyo", line 40, in <module> File "gtk_gtk.pyo", line 12, in <module> File "gtk_gtk.pyo", line 10, in __load ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
However the same installer/ and run works great on my Windoze XP machine.
Any ideas anyone? The W2k machine is my radio s/w laptop that I drag out to my vehicle to program my radios.
Many thanks --

Hmm, looks like a recent version of GTK broke compatibility with Windows 2000. That's unfortunate, there is not much I can do about it, other than to restrict the feature and function I can support for newer systems to maintain compatibility.
What radio are you trying to use? If it's supported in an older version of CHIRP, then that may work it moved to the newer GTK shortly before 0.2.0.
Thanks for the quick response. Radio is the Alinco DR-235.
Okay, yeah, try 0.1.12, which was before the most recent GTK upgrade. I don't think the Alinco support has changed much since then.

If you download it with the older version, you can edit the image on another computer with the newer version and then use the older one to push it into the radio again.
