[Dxbase] Windows 7 Question

Well, my trusty desktop is starting to act strangely.  Sometime over 
night, something went wrong and it didn't want to boot this morning.  It 
took about an hour but it finally came up.  Bottom line, I lost some 
sectors on my HD, not sure what or why.  I ran the usual utilities which 
confirmed all of this.  Defrag won't work at all, gives me a warning 
notice.  I suspect disc slippage but who knows.

I'm using XP and of course like it.  But, I'm wondering if it isn't time 
to move into the world of Windows 7.  I read Neal's instructions and it 
appears that DXBase 2007 will run on Windows 7 64-bit.  Just wanted to 
confirm and see if any of you had any comments before I possibly make a 
mistake here.

In terms of DX, worked A45XR on 30 the other night for a new one on that 
band!  Confirmed the next day via LOTW.
