I need some help. I recently acquired a new HP 64 bit computer that has win 7 home OS. I tried to load the unitrack software and it would not permit me to do it. I have ordered
a LVB tracker from AMSAT and not received it yet. I have tried to download the latest upgrades from Unitrack but can not install on the 64 bit machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dale,
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but look into the Virtual PC with Windows XP. It's a download from Microsoft that installs a Windows XP virtual machine on your computer. It just starts like a program, and closes like a program. It is a real Windows XP running inside your Win7. Sadly, I don't think it does parallel ports, which is what I suspect is your issue. It does two comports great.
I used this solution to run some old DOS software that wants a standard old COM1 port that just would NOT work under Windows 7.
You'll love your LVB Tracker! It works fine--and with Windows 7/64 bit I didn't even have to install any drivers! Windows 7 loaded the USB drivers automagically.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I can't wait until the new box arrives (LVB). I don't want to move my old computer back in place of the new one. In the mean time it is a manual operation...left-right, up-down with the controller for the G5500 rotors.
Thanks again. Dale/KL7XJ
