private email for that.
I'm using this 64 Bits versions very often without any issues on Vista and

Oh oh! You thought 32 bit Windows was trouble, welcome to your worst
nightmare! :-(
It should be in c\Program Files (x86)\q-emulator
As Rich points out, Windows 7 decided that all 32 bit applications

My advice to Dilwyn is simple, if you ever want to stop effing about

Many of these problems with older XP-era apps can be traced to permissions.
Try assigning full permissions to the folder in which you install the
program and you _may_ find that all your difficulties go away.

Only 1TB? Surely you must have more than that! ;-)
Yes! Only 1TB on the old PC itself in its internal drives. My calculator

Time for booting in to Linux an creating images from your floppies with DD or
similar. If nothing else the media must be quite old and doing so should
preserve them!

Except, I think it can. CTOOLS or similar? I'm sure that can read a QL
floppy image, mounted on a loopback, on Linux.

I'm sure you are right. I'd like to be certain of it but it's been 10 years or

I found a stash of my old QLs and a partial listing of the MGUK code not too
long back.
BTW Sinclair Black shows the dust ;)

Not sure where that information came from!
My USB floppy works fine on my Note books PC under Windows 7. I often use
it in conjunction with QPC, although it is also used directly from Explorer
