is the software 32 bit or 64 bit ?
what are the memory requirements ?
what is the XP system 32 bit
i have an unopened XP pro in the cabinet.. 2002, thats 15yrs old

I agree with MrWizard's assessment. Yes, that software may run on a Window's XP operating system but perhaps your computer hardware is deficient........

Not sure without some sort of error message but I'm guessing that it needs the .net framework that is not installed by default on XP. You should be able to install it, I think it may be an optional windows update though.

Just a side note but I have two XP PRO DELL M90 machines that I still using with all of my HAM RADIO CONTROLLER items on them...

Since the big XP virus scare of recent days I am too chicken to turn on my old XP machines...

They stopped getting some UPGRADEs back when Microsoft posted end of life for them... They still get updates here when I log on the internet so I am guessing these are probably for some of the programs I still have active...

bummer....

They actually released a patch for xp to address the ransomeware attack

I asked EPsolar if their Solar Monitor software would run on an XP machine. The came back with a yes.

I've been unable to get it running properly.

It works fine on a Windows 10 desktop machine but I would like to run it on a older laptop I have.

Anyone been able to get it going using XP???

But why?

Bill.....Why??..... I have a XP laptop that's not upgradable but works fine for most tasks. I'd like to use it for this one.

I'm not geeking out and wasting money on solar trinkets that aren't needed to do the job. The system works fine without seeing the info available from the controller, but if I can get at it without wasting money I would like to see the data.

Hedge .....It is a .NET error. Error message is "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application""Selected collating sequence not supported by the operating system".

EPsolar includes a .NET update on their download page, it just doesn't correct the issue I'm seeing on this machine.

Just hoping someone on RV.net might have already fought the battle.

we have a lot people here
BUT i'm thinking you need to dive into a Solar forum talking about the EP controller
