BR>I just finished moving a working installation of WC! 4.2SL from WinXP (where 
it

BR>was running perfectly using MS Virtual PC), over to Win 7 Pro using Oracle's
BR>Virtual Box VM software (MS VPC is not fully supported under Win 7).

BR>NOW, all WC! does on start-up is display "Carrier Detected, Dropping DTR", 
the
BR>modem lights (USR Courier VE) flash around some then WC! gives up and exits. 
:(

BR>Anyone have any idea what is going on? I've exhausted my efforts to
BR>re-configure things to WC!'s liking! Also, at NO time does the CD light come 
on

BR>(worked fine the other day) and the CD Override DIP switch is Off as 
expected.
BR>Init option &C1 has no affect either. The COM1 port and modem settings are 
all
BR>in sync, 115200 Baud, 8,N,1 with Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS). Google has
BR>turned up nada on the situation.

Did you install the tools as well as the extension pack?
