Yep but it still behaved exactly the same. It's possible the OS was not the
problem but my AV/Firewall/Malware/Spyware software.
You can understand my panic because it seems to be the only software out
there specific to the DXT1/3/5 formats used in FS. I've already checked out
a few files in these different formats and all load fine so I hope I am back
in action.
Next task is to see if I can find a install GMax again.

Did you run the installer in Admin mode? If not, UAC would have blocke the
files. I ran the installer on my W7x64 system without a hitch and have used
it several times, an example being my FSX Carenado C152 (see attached).

Sorted.
I managed to freeze the program as it started running which trapped the
DLL's in a temporary folder. I was then able to copy over manually and
DXTBMP now works.
Good news also in that I've found a CD with all my FS data on so I now have
the PA28 files and all my bitmaps and XML files for the Aztec panel. I'm
missing the panel.cfg file but that is far easier to rebuild than making
loads of bitmaps and XML files again.
I've also found all my early GMax work which includes Ronaldsway objects,
the Tiger Moth files, wind turbines, masts and a bunch of projects I never
really got started on. There's files for a Hawker Hart, DH60 Gipsy Moth and
a DH2 plus a bunch or research files for a Fairey Rotodyne I'd totally
forgotten about. Amongst the reference stuff there is an 84Mb MPEG which I
can't seem to play but I think it shows the startup procedure of this
fascinating (and deafening) aircraft.

Bones -
Returning to your original post:
Assuming that you d/led mwgfxdll.exe, saved the file then right clicked it
and 'Run as Administrator' - I suspect that the DOS box appeared plus an
extra both advising that the dlls had extracted and saved to
c:\windows\system32. If so, when you closed the DOS box did you get a new
box popping up titled 'Program Compatibility Assistant' which told you that
'This program may not have installed correctly'? If you did then simply
IGNORE IT and click 'Cancel' (this is Win7 "trying to be helpful"). You
should find the dlls safely tucked away in c:\windows\System32.
If not, I'll zip up my copies and email them to you ...!

Subject: [jhb] DXTBmp
Has anyone got DXTBmp on their PC's?
I'm trying to install this but the DLL set won't extract in W7. I need the
following DLL's:
MWACE.DLL
MWACEVB.DLL
MWDDS.DLL
MWDDSVB.DLL
MWDLG.DLL
MWGFX.DLL
MWGFX24.DLL
MWGFXVB.DLL
Failing that has any new bitmap editor come out for FS that replaces DXTBmp?
