Until X-Part come up with a solution, you can still make it run under Windows 10 build 2004 with a bit of fiddling around.
Copy the CD contents into a folder on your harddrive or USB stick. Locate and open the 'Acrobat4' folder. Open the 'Resource' folder. Delete the folders 'CMap' and 'Font' or rename them Rave will now open and run, you may get a warning of missing fonts but it doesn't seem to cause any issues on my tests. |

No reboot required when switching. You just select Shutdown while in XP but because It's a virtual machine, it just takes you back into your normal OS. You'll open Oracle from a icon on your desktop. |

I don't think they will come up with a solution to the Win10 problem - they'd have to hire a programmer to sort it out.
A programmer could also rewrite RAVE so it can use any version of Acrobat reader (instead of only Acrobat 4) but they won't do that either because they'd have to pay someone to do it. |

Question - Would the 75 & ZT Owners Club be interested for creation for Version of Rave for MG ZT and R75 which would be working on Win 10 and get in agreement with XPart in order to pay them fee gathered from users from the Club for usage/download of such software? (in similar way like Rimmers must paying them for selling their CDs)

I don't think that would be viable because the cost could outweigh the sales. Plus, I couldn't imagine XPart parting with money! |
