   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?
