OPENCP and Windows

OPENCP will run happily in a DOS-Box of Windows 9.x-ME. You can use the native drivers of OPENCP, but this is not recommended with windows. If you have a sound card supported by windows and installed a DirectX 5 or later you can use the windows drivers with OPENCP. This way OPENCP will work with every sound card supported by windows, which includes modern pci devices.

Installation is totally simple:
  1. copy the vxdapc.vxd driver and the vocp.dll library into your textttwindows\system directory
  2. run the cphost.exe program before starting OPENCP

cphost.exe will place an icon in your icon tray to indicate proper operation. If you use OPENCP regularily you can start cphost.exe with your autostart group.1.1

If a yellow exclamation sign is added to the icon (in your icon tray), something failed. Please contact us for a bug report together with system information, the log from cphost.exe etc.

All this however only applies to Windows 9.x-ME. OPENCP does not run with Windows NT, 2K or XP. If you have problems please see our section about the vapc driver in the FAQ.1.2
