After all these years TBCB 2.5 has finally stopped working. Yes I have Windows 10. I tried the "Unfreeze" option, but it's not working. This really sucks.

I have been playing a version of this product since day 1 and it's over. Cannot hardly believe it.

The newer version is so clunky and just does not cut it for me. Very sad about this...

Yep, same problem. Tried to go back to 2.5 after giving up on 2013 and 2.5 keeps locking up trying to run on Win 10. Finally got an old laptop running Win XP believe it or not and running off that. Hope that old clunker laptop doesn't quit on me any time soon.

Sorry to hear that. If at all possible, try to get Windows 7 loaded back on your machine. I gave up on Windows 10 very quickly. It was not designed for the pre-smartphone age I think. I wonder if Linux would work better?

Saw this from Paul Norman on the PISD website:

It has come to my attention that the latest Windows10 update is not compatible with TB2.5. I know TB2.5 runs fine on Linux under Wine, so I think the only way to keep using TB2.5 is to use a similar virtual system. A quick Google search revealed "Windows Virtual PC" which is free and allows one to run Windows XP "in a window"...

I think this is going to be the bext way forward and invite someone with Windows to post step-by-step instructions below on how to keep running TB2.5 using Windows Virtual PC.
