It takes a while to get it customized but once you do, it is very easy

to run.

Like most windoze apps, that complexity is actually just the ability

to make it what you want and not what some guy in California decided

you wanted.



The other great thing about this version of Agent is it is just an EXE

file. You don't "install" it. You can copy the directory off to a

thumb drive and take it with you, running on any windoze machine you

are sitting on. When you take the drive out, it is gone from that

machine without a trace and you have the updated database with you.

That is handy if you want to log on from a hotel machine..

WHICH VERSION, DAMMIT??

I'm using the 32 bit version of Agent 7.20 - It works fine under
Win7 and is a significant improvement over some of the older versions
that I've used.

I guess I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

What's the diff? He doesn't use Win 7.
But I run an old version of Agent on Win 7.
Works perfectly.
Version is Win 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1.
Best OS I've ever used.

Out boating I hope

I've spent the past few days upgrading to Windows 7. Problems galore with reloading some of the old stuff - like Forte Agent. Finally dumped it all. Will try to reinstall the new version 7.2, I think.

Anyway, 'Hi' back at ya.

I have tried 7 twice and both times I loaded XP on the machine.
I do have a W7 drive for this machine on the shelf in case I want to
try it again.

There's a lot to like in Win7 although I do sympathize with your
networking challenges. My wife got a new laptop with Win8 just
before we headed north and that has been difficult. We finally have
the necessary tweaks installed to bring the desktop back to some
semblance of normality. Fortunately one of our daughters-in-law works
for Micro$oft and knew what to do.

Win 7 is working OK now, but it didn't like the old agent. I'm thinking of the new Agent, as I said. Which version are you using?
