[Dxbase] DXBase and Windows 7 "Pain"

[k8ztt at mho.com]

Merle,

For awhile I used Win 7 32 bit for awhile on the computer I use for amateur radio.  I did not have any problems with it, the secret being to load it in a folder on the C drive.   The reason I went back to XP was the lack of a driver for the EMEU 0202 that would allow me to run both PowerSDR and CW Skimmer at the same time (I think that new drivers are available now).  

I also was smart enough not to use the 64 bit version (I guess the 64 bit version has some additional issues).  Have not switched back to Win 7 becsuse I have no need to do so.  I do have my other computer running Win 7 32 bit and use it for MMTTY and a couple of other programs related to ARES work.

Neil,
I have been reading the "notes of frustration" around DXBase 2007 
and Windows 7 for some time. I have gotten to the point that I 
really need Windows 7 capabilities for some other activities and 
therefore need to migrate my DXBase 2007 system to Windows 7.  Is 
there a "cannot fail" "step by step" set of instructions that one 
can follow to make this change, or is "personal blood" an 
absolute requirement? If there is a set of instructions, where 
can they be found?
Thanks & Good DX, Merle - W0EWM
