Some old databases such as Tas BDM etc cannot run under Windows 7. They say you need to upgrade to Windows Professional 7, which will cost you $200. Apparently it runs a virtual XP version on the windows 7 platform allowing the database to work. However, I cannot guarantee that the upgrade will work. Does any one know of any solution to this problem other than forking out $200. Regards Paul
