thanks a lot for the link I was not able to find... shame on me ;)

I confirm that you have to run a 32 bit OS in order to use this tool. I use it inside a virtual machine and it works well!

but... the interface is so 95!!!! incredible ;)

I installed the newest version and it installed well without any errors but it gave me the mentioned error.

The problem was Win XP itself: After hibernating the machine the last 2-3 months and no restart during this time it was just time to boot the whole machine and tadaa! The Product Configuration Guide started well and run quite smooth but the user interface is really terrible [:'(]

Heribert:

I could install the program on my Win7 System without problems. But I cannot start it because it says it is not compatible. Seems windows requests a 32bit or 64bit version...

If you have the 64-bit version of Windows 7, it will not natively run these old programs. It lacks the 16-bit subsystem completely.

You could install some virtual machine software, install some older version of Windows in that and try that way - but frankly, it isn't worth going through hoops just to run the PCG.

Sidenote, to get the program working I had to run the win2000 version.

Downloaded, it works fine.

And I found a very interesting point, according to the "conclusion" thought only the TV show cheaters used that term... The BV10 can provide Beolab 5's with source data in a masterlink setup with the Beolab 5's connected to the BV10, thus enabling them to listen for the spdif input when in speaker mode 2???

Anyone can confirm this?

i found the software here but i can't let it run, after installing it gives me an error stating that the win16 subsystem doesn't have enough ressources to run BOCONFIG. Click on OK and restart computer

The computer is 32Bit XP SP3 incl. all MS patches.

I suppose you used the upper of the links (announced as "latest")?

Just tried it on my laptop (32-bit Vista) and it works fine without any tweaks, but you need to run the installer as administrator.

Obviously the installer needs to finish without any errors. If it did, but you still get the above error, you might try to run it in Win95 compatibility mode, or something...

The actual program seems to be ancient (it's probably a 16-bit program predating even Win95!) and they have just added a more modern installer and updated the product info. The user interface is terrible

Thanks again Peter, have downloaded the updated version and installed it with no problems. By the way in case it helps other users I am running this on a laptop running XP SR2.

Please let me know what problems others are having and I will certainly do my best to help

I have put the newest there is on! There are now two - an old one which I will remove and the new version 2.54 . I cannot really help with these as they do not run on my Mac!

i think this is an old version, there is no bl7, no bs4, and i thing there are many other products missing from the lists.
