Good morning Dave... (I couldn't resist that one) WQ and SDR on same
computer??? I'm running them on the same computer but I think I'm using
an older version on my data collection system; maybe somebody else on
the list can help with this answer who is running the latest versions.

However back to the issue at hand. As you moved the WinSDR file to main
system and it works my guess is Winquake just needs to be re-installed
on the data collection system as you stated below. Here is my
suggestion, try uninstalling Winquake and then rebooting the system
before a new clean install of just Winquake (WinSDR is fine and working
don't mess with it). The other thing is, before you do that, on the data
collection system only, Windows may not have the correct association of
file type for Winquake files because of the old 4-letter name you first
used or it may have just crashed during the install before setting up
the association. Check to see if PSN event files extensions are
associated with Winquake by just going into My Computer and after
finding the folder with event files, double clicking on a file (left
mouse button on my system). Does the system start Winquake and try to
open that event file? If it does not, this is an association issue in
the system settings. However, if you do a new clean install of Winquake,
the install program should handle this for you and setup the association
correctly.

Greetings Steve

    OK   I will work my way through those suggestions. and let you know
the
results of each part  :)

    ok  initially I just quickly did the files from somewhere else check
I grabbed a bunck of PSN files from my main computer and transferred
them to the puter running SDR  and also a copy of WQ (NOTE....  these
files open no prob with the copy of WQ on the main puter always have
....never been a problem) They like my own files will NOT open on the SDR
puter  WQ displays  the same " Invalid Quake File (bad header check) "
message I tried the files in the SDR events folder, and the WQ data
folder ... same 
problem

I guess Larry will be following this and may chime in with some comments
:)

question.....
Is there a problem running SDR and WQ on the same puter ??
does any one else do that ?

Ah hah !!   moment of truth ....  transferred my file onto my main puter
via
a memory stick   and guess what ?!!   it opens.

so what's the problem with WQ on the SDR puter.
Unless someone tells me I cant have WQ and SDR running on the same puter
I will try reinstalling WQ

cheers
Dave
