I run it on Win 7 Enterprise 64 with no problems. Just make sure that the data files are separate from the program files. -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

This is to help prevent "contamination" of the program files by malware, and to ease backing up data files. The (very old) philosophy was that everything belonging to a certain program should be kept together (a Microsoft invention, Unix etc always keeps programs separate from OS and separate from data). Now MS is realizing that the Unix way is better for system maintenance and backing up. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid

I think I have a problem with Eudora 7 and Windows 7 may be because I have put the mailboxess into the same Eudora folder. In fact now when I open Eudora I don't see any message. Where have I put these In.mbx and Out.mbx precisely? I have to save the old messages.
