Hi Lyn I have lots of the Digger CD and even the old NSW etc CD's before Digger. They will not run on 64bit machines. I have an older little netbook that I use just for them, it runs Windows 7 starter but just as 32bit. I attach an external CD drive to it via usb and it works perfectly. My newer laptop Windows 8 and Desktop again Windows 8.1update both being 64bit will not run the CD's. I am not sure what I will do when the netbook eventually dies, but I bought it only a couple of years ago and it does not get used very often, so hopefully it will last a bit yet, as I do use the CD's occasionally and remember I paid about $250 for each one many years ago. A bit of a pain not being able to use on current machines and that Digger software is not being upgraded to match current operating systems. But just wanted to let you know that they still work on Windows 7 ok, but just not in 64bit version.
