The bottom line is that XyWrite is 16-bit code and Windows 7 (64-bit version) won't run 16-bit code.

So I would have had to go the XP Virtual machine route if I had succeeded in installing 64-bit Win7? Whew! In that case I'm glad I didn't!

However, I guess this will be an issue on my next laptop, which will presumably have 64-bit Win7.

Is there any pronounced disadvantage to running 32-bit Win7 (versus 64-bit Win7) on my current laptop, an 18-month old Dell 1720 with a T8300, 2.40 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo?
