Have you tried the latest firmware from earlier in July ?   It should work with Windows 7 ---    32 and 64 bit now.

Looks like it used to work OK with Windows 7 --   32 bit before.  It was   64 bit Windows 7   we had trouble with.

Let us know if it still doesn't work and we will try to figure out what is going on.   There are several versions
of windows 7 it appears...   We haven't had any trouble with them so far, but ya never know what can happen
with Windows.

I think Rob and Mario are working on an additional video to show how to install the driver on windows 7 as it is a little different than XP although it is basically the same.

I've used " xp mode " or program compatibility options in Windows 7 to run older windows software on my laptop and desktop.  Not sure if this may help or which 7 versions have the option.
