QTR-Quadtone RIP

Sirs
Since I think I am the student Sandy is referring to, here is my 2 cents.  I am not an expert on QTR.  I have read the Ron Reeder info, Clay Harmon's info and other text. 
I have a Windows 7  PC.  My friend Doug is on a Mac.
When Doug and I returned from Sandy's excellent Carbon workshop, I had numerous problems getting Sandy's Carbon 100 curve  to display correctly on my Windows PC. I kept getting  something like shown in the attachment that I will call "Wrong Curve For Carbon". 
Doug was able to get Sandy's Carbon 100 curve to show properly on his MAC without any difficulty. This curve is shown in the attachment called  "Ink load for Sandy King Carbon 100 Curve".
After many failures, Doug  and I realized that for some reason when I was entering the curve data in QTR Curve Creator, I needed to  Show Black Boost to be 100 and in Black (K) line I needed to show Load Curve - Curve.  Once I made these changes I got the correct Curve developed by Sandy.  Yeah!!!
I am not sure if this helps you to understand the curve generation issue that I had. I hope so and I hope I have not caused any confusion on this matter.

     I don't know about the differences in the install programs, but I suspect it may be something different. Perhaps the difference in the text editors or the difference in the update version of Win 7.  I can do an experiment wrt Win 7. Curve creator is not kept up to day with the changes in the window OS, so maybe there is something going on there. On my laptop's version of Win 7, I keep the windows update turned off. This is the machine use for printing negatives. I can try to open the txt on my desktop, which I keep the windows update turned on automatic. I'll try the experiment when I get home later today.
This is a real puzzle.
