Karen, I _updated_ (ie: not a clean install) from Vista Home Basic to Windows 7 Home Premium last Saturday and, as you would expect, R:Base v7.6 runs fine.
Some of the W7 effects take a few moments to get used to and the only change I have made to a command file is to increase the time that the program waits for a file to be written to disk. In Vista I used to have a 3 second wait for a BAT file to complete and write the file. In Windows 7 I increased the wait to 10 seconds after having problems but I have not yet had time to try decreasing that to an optimum. (The BAT file is very quick - it's the availability of the file that seems to be slow.) I presume this is something to do with the way Windows indexes the file but if anybody knows what causes it and/or how to eliminate the need for a pause it would be very useful. Regards, Alastair.

A client's about to get all new computers and is expecting them to have Windows 7 installed. I'm assuming someone here is running RBase 7.6 windows on it? Does it work okay?
