I just upgraded from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) last
week and am running PH. PH 2.1b runs right out of the box.
The only issues I had were that W7 changed all my comm port
numbers so I had to go into my macros and change them
there. Also one of my USB to serial converters doesn't
work while a second one works, so I need to buy a new one.
Lastly I needed a new USB UIRT driver (which I downloaded
from their site).

PH runs fine but the sensitive issue is the drivers that Noel pointed out. Even though they may pass the Compatibility test they still might not work. I have also found some software is not upward compatible and I thought that was one of the advantages over Vista. Benchmarking the speed I found Win7 equal to XP and much faster than Vista.

I ran PH on Windows 7 for a few days without issues. I
ended up downgrading back to XP because of problems
with other unrelated programs.
