If these discs are like the Digger indices for Victoria the answer is (according to a mailing list correspondence some months ago) that they'll run with W7 32 bit but not with W7 64 bit. My Diggers certainly run perfectly with 32 bit. Apparently the Digger web site provides information as to how to overcome the 64 bit problem, so I'd suggest googling either for the company that produced your discs or for Digger/Macbeth Genealogical Software, to see whether their guidelines work in your case too. Good luck! Phoebe

Dear Jan, They are handy for births post 1911. It depends on your computer bits whether they work or not.
