Alex,

No, the IDE isn't just for "old computers".  You can run it on the shiniest new computers around.  It's just [b]not guaranteed to run under 64 bit Vista[/b].  The download area clearly states XP/2000 and doesn't say anything about 64 bit Vista.  I appreciate that you are interested in venturing forward into the world of 64 bit computing, but the SX-Key IDE is not yet guaranteed to run in that world yet.  

How many millions of copies of XP and 2000 are running today versus 64 Bit Windows?  It's your choice to pioneer, so you shouldn't be too surprised when you encounter Indians.  It's not that I am not interested in helping you.  It's simply that I don't have a 64 bit machine with a 64 bit OS to develop on.  If I get a system like this, I'll fix the problem.  Until then, I recommend using your previous machine with a 32 bit OS to do SX work.  I'm assuming that the 64 bit machine isn't the first computer you bought, so the previous one is likely sitting somewhere.  Don't you have a laptop?  Develop for the SX on that.  

You have options, but are currently choosing the path of most resistance.  Make things easier for yourself and use the OS that is recommended until such time as 64 bit Vista is supported.

Thanks,
PeterM
