I tried to install MaxSea 10.3.2.1 on a new laptop with W7 Home
Premium.
Installation went fine but it won't run.
Anybody here who found a solution?

Right-click the icon, and (always) run as administrator.
Might work.....

Why in hell would anyone buy a new 64-bit Win7 laptop to replace a
perfectly-good-working WinXP (or whatever it was) laptop that MaxSea
10.3.2.1 ran perfectly under?

Is there a motive I missed??

Win7 was invented to sell new software and obsolete old software, as you've
just found out. It's not good, ol' backwards-compatible DOSware any more.

Sorry....I'm sure MaxSea has the answer. Please have your extended credit
limit credit card ready when you call....

We COULD take this new PoS back to its mother and boot up the old system
and go sailing, again....Not a bad plan, once you get used to it.

Boat software and hardware still thinks laptops have SERIAL ports! They're
always a few years behind the bleeding edge of technology, which partly
explains the dogged clutching it does to NMEA-0183 and RS-422...(c;]

At least, now, it's in color, other than DOS 3.3's green monochrome
screen....

Hot damned. you must be some sort of an old Fuddy-Duddy. Don't you

Not if it means losing valid navigation that's working.....

I am an old Fuddy Duddy, however....but no iPhone/pad/pod/touch or anything
else controlled by someone else.

Too bad the softwares are for WinXP, not Ubuntu Linux.

No hand phone, or just the old "number's only" cell phone?

You could try setting up a virtual system - I think Ubuntu can do
that, or running it under Wine, although I don't know about Wine and
USB ports.

I do run Forte Agent in a Wine window and have for several years
now,with no problems. Other then the initial Wine installation which
sometimes seems to be successful and at other times not for some
unexplainable reason, having to do with gecko I think.

USA nationwide service on Verizon Wireless' most complete system, the
best of the best in the USA.....

50 cents per month user fee + 3.6 cents per minute ($US2.16/hour)
prepaid on MVNO system of Pageplus Cellular. No $4000 phone bills, no
bogus fees and charges noone can explain, no Verizon wienies lying to
you every time they open their mouths. NOONE beats Pageplus for service
and price point.

http://www.pagepluscellular.com/

The numbers on this website need to be updated. It used to cost us
5.3c/min, but $80 PINs now get you 2000 minutes for about $72 with the
discounts Callingmart gives us so the price numbers on the webpage are
too high but the concept works great:

http://nordicgroup.us/prepaid/pageplus.html

We must buy "something", even if it's only a $10 payment, within 120
days of the last entry. It's as simple as entering the PIN number we
get from Callingmart.com. We can buy PINs at big discounts when
Callingmart has a sale, then store the PIN on Callingmart until our next
120 days is up....or....you can store the PIN up to a year on
Callingmart's account to use any time you like.

Noone here beats the price point. Verizon has the finest coverage of
any carrier in the USA and Pageplus uses the same system across the
country.

Yep...."just the old "number's only" cell phone". That's me.

No monthly bill....NO FUNNY BUSINESS....No giving back minutes every
month you don't use, which is crazy.

Last month's cellular service cost me less than $11US

Larry,
It's just a simple story about a laptop reaching the end of its
technical lifetime...
After the screen quit I used a stand alone screen on the vga output.
After the CPU fan began screeming I carefully greased the bearings.
After the keyboard started to give in I replaced that. They are quite
standard, I noticed.
After random stopping and complete and spontaneous restarting I
started to think about a new one.
I now invested 599 dollars in a blazingly fast laptop with a super
16:9 screen that hopefully will last again for 6-7 years...
The only problem was this Windows 7 not running my MaxSea.

In the mean time I discovered that MaxSea 10.3.2.1 does run under
Windows 7 Starter Edition without doing or changing anything.
Virtual PC solved my problem under Windows 7 Home Premium. For those
who are interested: Virtual PC runs on all W7 platforms, excluding the
most basic one.
There is no need to upgrade to Pro or Ultimate or whatever, even if
Microsoft says so.
The proof is on my table...

Regards, Len.

Yes, I've installed MaxSea 10 - something ion Windows 7 on a desktop
(test) and two laptops. An Eee-900 and a Lenovo (don't remember the
version) Work fine.

The only "modification" I made was to set the program to run in
Windows XP mode.
