Windows 10: How to get application to work in Windows 10?

Hello,

I recently purchased a new desktop PC and a retail license of Windows 10. I have an application that worked on my old Windows 7 desktop, but is not working on my new Windows 10 desktop. This application is very important to and need to continue to use it. Note, this application was developed by Klark Teknik back in 2006 and since this audio device is now discontinued, the software application will not be updated.

Note, this application is used to communicate with external audio devices via a serial to USB connection. The application can send or retrieve information to and from the audio devices.

At the time of release, this application requires Net Framework 1.1 before you can install the application. For example, on Windows 7 I would simply install Net Framework 1.1, then Elgar 2.6 and then DN9848 RCS 4.0 and everything worked fine. I have done this many times on Windows 7 in this exact sequence without ever having any issues.

Now, I am able to install Net Framework 1.1, Elgar 2.6 and DN9848 RCS 4.0 successfully on Windows 10. However, when I go to open Elgar 2.6 I get the process performance counter error. (Screen shot below)

After adding the following registry key and uninstalling Net Framework 1.1, I was able to open Elgar 2.6.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.1

However, now I am unable to add a device inside Elgar 2.6 and not sure what to do. Attached is Net Framework 1.1 and the two applications. Well, the main application (Elgar 2.6) and the add on tool DN9848 RCS 4.0. After you have installed both applications and you are able to open Elgar 2.6, then you must be able to add a device. (screen shot below)

As of now, I am able to open Elgar 2.6 but unable to add a device. In reality, if I can't add a device, I can't use the application. Also, for some reason when I open the Elgar 2.6 is does not display full screen, the taskbar remains visible. If anyone can get this application to work in Windows 10, please let me know and thanks.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
