I have Windows XP Pro 5.1 with Office 2003 and A Juliet Pro 60 can I upgrade to
Windows 2007 with Word 2007? I know I can't get Word 2007 to open in Dux 10.6
but I 'm not sure why.

Hi George,
Perhaps its time for a PPD file under GNU/Linux then!
Ideal setup:
Ultimate Edition 2.3 x.86 [Ubuntu crafted by "Thee Mahn" in the States]
(avoid x.64 as it will need 64 bit drivers - you can install 32 bit
operating systems on 64 bit processors - you just don't get all of the
'benefits'!)
Canon Scan LiDE 60 - the most up-to-date Canon Scanner available under
GNU/Linux if memory serves me right.
Any printer - Ultimate Edition just works 'out of the box' with most
printer drivers - even giving the correct model number!
Duxbury - remember George how quickly the demo installed on Fedora 11 at
Sight Village!
For those who cannot live without Microsoft office - www.codeweavers.com
- for Cross-Over Office Professional - you can then run Office (up to
2003) on Linux - it looks just like it would under it's 'native' OS!
Best regards
John

If you want to kill a perfect good Index embosser, upgrade, but at your
own risk. It is safest done with qualified help to hand.
Moreover, the "Add Printer Wizard" does NOT work properly with Windows
7 - official!
As for their "Download Manager" - again at your own risk.
To add to this, see today's thread mentioning 64 bit drivers - or rather
the lack of.
Sorry - but we've been dealing with Index embossers for over 20 years
now, and have learned to bench test in all manner of ways before we
release to clients.
Don't get me wrong - they are good embossers, but need treated
carefully.
George.

I have found the Index "Add Printer Wizard" usually resolves the
problems where plug and play does not find the correct drivers -
although I have not tried this for W7.
You can get this wizard from the Index site by downloading the Download
Manager - use this link,
http://www.indexbraille.com/Downloads/Software/Drivers-and-Utilities.a
spx
It may be worth upgrading the Basic's firmware. The current version is
12.03.4 and has much better plug and play support. The utility for
upgrading the firmware is also provided by the Download Manager.

I finally got Windows to recognize where it was... The problem I am now
having is that it gives me an error message saying the drivers in that
folder aren't compatible with a 64 bit OS.

Hi Alyssa,
When adding the Index, point to c:\program files\Duxbury\[DBT
VERSION]\Drivers\Index AB.

I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 installed. The mother board on my
previous one fried, and unfortunately, I lost all programs I had saved
on it. Anyway, I have DBT installed, but I cannot get the drivers for my
Index Basic-D installed. The manufacturer does not seem to have updated
their drivers, so the download manager offered on their site does not
work. Would anyone happen to have these drivers off list they could send
me? If not, is there another way around this?
By the way, the embosser has 10.31 firmware on it in case that makes a
difference. J Thanks.
