Having a tough time following your post, but it sounds like you and your wife each have a Windows XP computer and have a Windows 2000 computer which is acting as a print and file server. You also have a new computer which you have loaded Vista 64 & XP 64 on to test with and you are now having a problem with a print driver. Does this all sound right?

Thank you Niel! That was what I thought how ever wanted to check. As you and all can tell from my posts it is as clear as mud in my mind.
As to memory on board the I-7 uses a board that does triple chanel memory. The board comes with six slots. Going to use three 2 gig now and add the other three latter. Boards claimes to suport up to 24 gig.

Looks like the doctor got that daily exersise he wanted me to do. I'll be getting up and walking to other machine to plot. I mit just end up back on XP pro!! I now understand your desire for stand alone plotting!!

Hi,

Windows 7 has a built-in WinXP emulator, as I understand it. The irony of this is pretty bizarre -- this is virtually the same as me running WinXP in Fusion (emulator) in Mac OSX...
