I mean, I know the technical reasons that would drive somone to go to the 64 bit OS but it seems highly unlikely that there is such a demand for 4.6+ GB of memory for their pc operation? People are just buying twice the pan for their bucks but nevermind! Bill, sri to be dumping on your email, it wasn't you that was directed at, I have just been thru 3 days of trying to figure out why DXBase works on 50% of win7 x64 systems and am a bit crispy about it! Anyway, I looked at FTDI's website (who makes the chip that drives probably 90+% appears to have their base driver signed and ready for win7 x64. A lot of companies will add to the base driver which turns it into a new driver which likely will not be signed nor necessarily work so caveat emptor but I think the chances of getting a USB->Serial adapter are not that bad!
