Doing the above would then mean your lap top or PC is not up to date, which in turn could mean trouble later on down the road, windows 10 2004 update also stopped some printers from working until Microsoft sorted it out with some patch i think.

I would still uninstall it and see what happens - it can always be re-installed. Btw, it's also called the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Have a look at this chap's thread. The Windows 10 2004 update messed up all his pdf stuff - it prevented him from opening any pdf file in any viewer! https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-3bbfe86597f7. From what he says it was a problem initiating from Edge. A quick test for that would be to either uninstall Edge completely, or stop it in Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del>Task Manager>Processes tab>find Edge in the list and stop it using End Process). |

I'll say it again. A Win10 update made Acrobat 4 (as used by Rave) incompatible. 100%
The workaround by Phil-T4 is the cure. (Typed in invisible ink for future reference to those that don't read). |

Yes just installed Virtual Box ono my win 10 laptop and ran XP inside the virtual machine, the rave disc starts lovely and all works ok.
there are several tutorials on youtube showing how to run XP inside virtual box. Very easy to do and start to finish about 30 mins. dean |

Good afternoon to all.
I'm newby on this forum. I'm quite active on the french MG-Rover forum and I mainly register on this one to be able to thank Phil-T4 for his procedure to get the rave CD back to work, ie, deleting Cmap and Font from the resources folder of acrobat4. Since I changed my PC for a new one running with Win10, there was no way for me to access my Rave manual. I tried many things, including Win7 and XP compatibility with no success. I applied his procedure and it's now operating as well as before. Thanks again. Formalhaut Last edited by Formalhaut; 18th November 2020 at 13:11.. |

Had the same problem. Sorted it by using a new Virtual Machine running XP. Got mine from here for free. http://downloadworkshopmanuals.com/d....7-5813279.exe
No need to turn the system clock back. Only disadvantage is you can't print from it

Surely these CD discs should not be sold until they work as they should, it should not be left down to the purchaser to sort out the problem?

I contacted Rimmers about the discs when I first had the problem, and they withdrew them from sale. They contacted X-part who stated they were not going to update them. I then asked if, as they had been withdrawn, I could purchase a Rave disc that covered the Metro. I did inform them that I could make it work for me, as one of our club members had given a work around. (And it was also possibly to use older versions of Windows or a Virtual Machine). I had no reply about the Metro disc, but some time later I noticed they were back on sale and bought one.
TBH, I feel it is still right to sell them, with a warning that Win10 doesn't work. Maybe they do this, I don't know. |
