I purchased win4lin and installed it in freespire since I seemed to have less probs with Freespire than Linspire. My question is if I want it in my Linspire

do I have to purchase it again - or can I use in both ?

Also I need to use a serial port - which freespire seems to be using for ???? Can I use my serial port with win4lin and freespire ?

Thanks

You should be able to install in in Linspire too.

Go here: https://www.cnr.com/userpage/purchaseHistory.seam and click the 'install' link


Don't know about the serial port thing...

Thanks for your help. I went into Linspire - tried to download win4lin as per your e - but it did not work for me. I went in several times and repeated - each time win4lin aborted after starting - it also eliminated the CNR icon on task bar each time. So now what ? Each timeI had to reinstall the CNR icon on task bar.

There is currently an issue with the click-n-buy apps, apparently no one can install their purchased titles right now.


If you want to see the specific error that is crashing the client, start the client from a terminal with the command: cnr

Leave the terminal open and try the install again (it will not work), the text of what is happening when cnr crashes will be output in the terminal.
