Re: Windows 7 compatibility?

 "Now, that being said, we are also running V7.6 on 64-bit Windows 
7..... with no issues."

I can't remember the message I received but RDp 7.6 flat out wouldn't 
install on my 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine. When I get back home 
I'll try it again but I don't think I could even install.
