[QUOTE="CraigInUSA, post: 1147661, member: 418656"] Win10 will not install on the older HP Pavilion 6440C PC that came with Win98, on which the ProbeScope works with the ProbeScope v4.2 program. I wanted to test its built-in Serial port on WinXP to see if XP is the problem. And I have not been able to get Win98SE to complete installation on my HP Pavilion a642n PC. It came with Vista installed and WinXP is the earliest it will take, but ProbeScope v4.2 cannot find the probe. I found an article with instructions yesterday about using in a "Virtual Machine Win98" within Win10. I could try Win98 (original) on the PC, but I get an error that says the BIOS is not compatible with Win98SE, so I'll try a Virtual Machine Win98 first. This was going to be a Dual Boot Win98SE/Win7 or 10, but I won't need that if the Virtual Machine Win98 works. Now to see if Win10 will complete installation. I looked at your Rigol DSO and it seems pretty nice. I bought a FNIRSI DSO-TC3 Digital Oscope from AliExpress and it came in yesterday. Like $50 with tax and shipping. If all else fails, I'll have that to use. It's not as nice as the Rigol DSO, but I don't need precision for hobbyist stuff and piddling around. If whomever gets your Osifox/RadioShack ProbeScope needs software v 4.2, you can tell them I have it. What other items are included in your "clearout?" I might be interested. Thanks [/QUOTE]
