Jim, SatPC32 installs on Vista and Windows 7, 32- and 64-bit and it can be installed into the default folder "C:\Program Files\SatPC32".
There is a link "Read this before you download one of the files, please" on my website www.dk1tb.de , English page "Downloads" with instructions about how to install the program:
"Download satpcsetup.ZIP, store and unpack the file into the temporary folder. ......... IMPORTANT: Under Vista and Windows 7 right click on the filename ("setup") and from the menu that opens choose "Run as administrator".
Then follow all suggestions of the program. It will install SatPC32 into the
'C:\Program Files\SatPC32' folder."
Even if you are the administrator proceed as described.
73s, Erich

All: My laptop finally died, and the replacement came with 64-bit version of Windows 7. I installed (as administrator) both Sat-PC32 and Nova; neither works. Does anyone have any idea or instructions on how to install? Or are they known to NOT work, in which case, what are people using for 64-bit Windows 7?
Thanks & 73, Jim [email protected]
