Even if you DO get it working, if it stops working latter do not expect helpto get it running again.Windows XP support is not available until SR 5.1.1 FP1 (Feature Pack 1) andunless you have a support contract you will need to pay for it.There should not be any reason why you have to jump through the hoops thatyou just to start the service. Set the service for autostart and you shouldbe all set. The only reason that you need to use DCM is when you firstinstall the board to get it detected.If you have problems getting a PCI Dialogic card detected under Windows 2000(I will not say XP because it is not supported anyway) try turning offPlug-and-Play in the system BIOS. I have seen this work on several HPsystems (mostly Vectras) before. You might also have to tie an IRQ to aspecific slot to get it to work as well.
Intel Dialogic System Release 5.1.1
D/4PCIU & D/4PCIUF cards require either theSR5.1.1 Feature Pack 1 drivers, or theSR5.1.1 + SR5.1.1 SP1 + D4PCIU support patch. Newest DMV cards require SR6.0 drivers. The freely available SR5.1.1 + SR5.1.1 SP1 drivers are sufficient for all other cards (even on WinXP systems).If you can not find those drivers on the Dialogic site you can find them on our web site below: SR5.1.1 on (300MB) SR5.1.1 Feature Pack 1 on

Send that file to mywebEmail(); . Please make sure to add comments saying what you are doing externally and where you think the problem is.Note 1: When the error is a 'run-time' type error it causes the premature program termination and TapiLog.txt log file will not be generated.In that case run the test file with /tapilog suffix (_test.exe /tapilog) and the second diagnostic window will open. Just save it's content and send it to mywebEmail(); .Note 2:Very often the problem is not related to the software but to the modem used for dialing. In Windows folder please find the log created by the modem.
