Can WiSP be run under Windows7 and if so how?
Many thanks, Al W8KHP
Al,
I have it running on WIN7 32 bit with no problem. I installed it about 2 years ago, and don't recall having to do anything special. I use another program for tracking, but I used the message functions with the AO-51 BB.
It helps to install ancient programs in another directory than "Program Files" if run from a non-admin account, to prevent access issues. I have a C:\MYPROGRAMS directory for that.

When I tried installing WiSP under Windows 7, Windows 7 wouldn't start and had to revert back to last known working state. There must be some choice that is made during installation that is key to proper functioning?
