[Elecraft] Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

[George A. Thornton]

By crash, I assume the whole system crashes and you get the "blue screen
of death".

According to a software engineer friend of mine at Microsoft, this is
usually caused by a driver conflict with the OS.  Driver conflicts are
more common with the 64 bit OS.  Drivers are written by the device
manufacturers and there  is often a considerable lag between the release
of the new OS and the manufacturer's release of a new driver.  Many
manufacturers have not gotten around to writing 64 bit drivers.  That is
why I chose to stay with 32 bit Windows 7.  Less problems.

If you are using an external sound card, look for a driver update on the
manufacturer's web page, and see if there is any discussion about
Windows 7 64 bit issues.

I have loaded HRD on a new laptop and now getting crashes. The
software worked fine on Windows 2000. Has anyone heard of any similar
problem and potential fixes? Thanks.
