Subject: Re Software Problems Update

Hi Everyone

Thanks for the response from so many people re my migration from XP to

Windows 7. Shortly after all your helpful advice came in we went to the UK,

and have recently returned.

I have since discovered that changing from 32 bit to 64 appears to has

caused some of my problems.

Re software we have installed a virtual machine running XP and my trusty old

software works again. My Son Sean did all the cleaver stuff using VMware

virtual player, not sure why we did not use the Microsoft version but this

one works very well.

Some of the groups advice re networking software made me think what else can

I do to make brewing days easier. I have faithfully recorded by hand every

batch of beer I have made, but am finding some days I struggle to hold a pen

for very long so maybe a tablet in the brewery is the way to go.

Thanks you again to everyone who offered advice, it was gratefully received.

Brian good to hear from you, will email you direct.

Regards Ian
