December 22nd

Spent the day calling the software companies to get things working on Windows 7. Sadly, neither support it as of yet.

The one company will not support it unless you have the newest software and install the service pack in about three months.

The other company, software B, has not even gotten Windows 7 through their compatibility testing internally, so is unsure right now where that will lead.

Worked with trying to get software B company because only issue was when the software generated a 'print preview' on PC 3. Other than that, PCs 1,2, and 4 worked fine. They tried a few things but finally threw in the towel.

I did get software C and D setup with little issue. Also made sure printing worked for PCs 1 - 3.

Another late night and unhappy wife. Hopefully the brute force install of Windows XP tomorrow evening will make this all better.
