It would have to be set up on a dual boot system or run something like Virtual PC  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-15-2003 08:21 PM                     That is a rather stupid move since most industrial communication is still Dos or maybe win98 designed (some is actually OS2) SO to do an XP interface is plain silly end of rant I gues I will just stay with the R2 then  |  IP: Logged Larry Zuverink Film Handler Posts: 98 From: Caledonia, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 10-16-2003 04:17 PM                     From what I understand it was done in XP to take more advatage of the processor in the laptop. Virtual PC should run all the other software fine. When I went through my THX training a couple months ago the tech was running his R2 on XP throught Virtual PC. He also ran SDDS and Dolby Load500 through it. Now not having a R2 and waiting for the D2 I like the fact it is based on the newest technology. However if I had a R2 right now I would be upset with the change.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

WinDRAS doesn't work worth a though.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-17-2003 07:22 AM                     Just where is the THX training nowadays? It used to be at Lucas' ranch. I would suspect it is no longer there since Lucas involvement is only now in partial ownership.

I was trained on site during a re certification.  |  IP: Logged Kris Brunton Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Napanee, Ontario, Canada Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-17-2003 01:58 PM                     When I went 4 years ago it was held mostly at there offices in San Rapheal. We went to the ranch only for 1 afternoon then to a theater another afternoon. Are they still in the same offices in San Rapheal? If so I would assume they still hold the training there.  |  IP: Logged
