(Please don't tell me to upgrade to newer software. The cost is
prohibitive, and I'm very comfortable with PM7, as well.)

I just "upgraded" from XP to Win 7 64-bit, and the following good-old
apps could be a problem:

Pagemaker 7

Acrobat 7 Pro

Photoshop 7 (This does install and work so far, but I'm holding my
breath.)

Illustrator 10

Before I wade into this, I'd appreciate any suggestions/advice on how
to do the best install. Any yweaks, tips, etc.?

TIA

Hi...

I have (seemingly) successfully installed PM7.

I have not installed any of the updates -- I figure I can live without
them for now, since Win7 seemed not to like 7.09.

It does crash occasionally on exit, but that is not a problem, since
it does not affect any of my document files.

However...to use the Export to PDF, it wants a Post Script printer
driver installed. I think I had a generic PS driver installed on my
own computer.

Does any one know here to get it?

Was it call Mopier (or something like that)?

TIA
SS

if your Seven is at least Professional (not Home), you can use "XP mode" to 
run the old apps
It worked fine for me with a 32-bit application whose drivers haven't been 
developed for Win64

Thanks for the info...do you suggest I use the XP mode for the
installation as well as for running the app?

yes. I did this way. The XP-mode should not be SWITCHED-OFF when you close 
it but just HIBERNATHED, to speed up the start/close phases. It's in the 
options. in the XP mode the Seven partition is seen as \\tsclient\c\ and 
you have FULL access to the whole disk
just note that having a processor that supports hardware virtualization is 
a must
