Re: Ecco alarms are not behaving properly - urgent

If you are considering changing operating systems (and that was exactly
my reaction on reading your post - it's an operating system related
problem), you should be aware that you do NOT have to use M$ Windows in
order to run EccoPro successfully.  I have been using it for years on a
number of GNU/Linux Distributions (i.e. openSUSE and a number of Debian
derivatives) with no problems, under Wine (and occasionally, Crossover).

All of which are far better than any of the currently supported versions
of Windows and the community support is far better also (and if course,
there's no cost).
