I do have a genuine T4 on the Dell machine supplied. FYI under XP the T4 menu installs as a shell in the registry here HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Winlogon Shell=T4menu.exe replacing that with Shell=Explorer.exe gives you back your normal XP machine and a T4 shortcut on the desktop Under windows 95/98 there is a startup.bat at the root of c: which calls the T4Menu.exe as the shell which is useful to temporarily rem out if you need to maintain the PC occasionally. Under Windows 98 even if not running as a shell initially once the T4 menu is launched it is not easy to use anything else. I have also built up a second Windows XP laptop using a Compaq EVO N400c and will be making that one dual boot so I can run Landrover RDS 6 or MGR RDS 5.06 I also use XP as you are able to ctrl-alt-del back to task manager so can use other apps, do screen dump capture car reports etc. The T4 I have uses a Dell dimension Laptop running Windows 98 which must be preinstalled first as the current RDS CD has just the T4 backend app. I get a similar message to the one of the OP it is good for older mgr cars though. When using the T1 it regularly falls over with time-outs and comms errors whilst connected to a car it also has limitations in what you can do with the 75 and ZT and it will not talk to my V8 at all.
