QUOTE: -----   v.7 patched to the last version would run on Vista 64 - many

machine and it does work but not without hiccups.

I have been using it in Windows compatible mode for a couple years, and have 
regressed to Win98 after tinkering with WinxXP, Win200 etc compatible. Win64 
then lauches the program with basic visual graphics.

Either way, it freezes, goes to black screen or dies with more or less 
frequency. Because of which, I don't use 3D much and am careful with converting 
graphics to stitches, automatic digitising, wire-frame editting of sequins etc. 
Still just clicking to open a file in the explorer window can cause it to die.  
 :eek:  

When that happens to get the program working again, I go delete temp files in 
the Programs files for Melco Design Shop and sometimes rename a certain *.cff 
file. If I don't it launches, and dies again when you go open a file et ad 
nauseuam. You can also sometimes jiggle it back to life by right-clicking the 
file you want to open and clicking open with Design Shop instead of launching 
the program directly.

A real pain.

I say all this in case anybody is having issues and is looking for tips.

I would upgrade to Win7 if I thought DS 7 worked on that OS.
