Hi http://tinyurl.com/y9cj8ugh The play at trick 1 seems to be a bug :) Regards Lars

Hi! <snip> Please try making sure you have logged into Windows 7 as an administrator and let me know if that helps. <snip> I tried this and it makes no difference, I am afraid. Regards Lars

Hi <snip> Possibly a stupid question, but... Did you copy the CC to the new machine? <snip> Yup, I did :) Since my last post, I did some further testing on... A: Win2K B: Windows Vista C: Windows 7 In all three cases with version 5.2.6 of the BBO client, i.e. the official version from the web-site. I see no problems with Win2K or Vista, using the FD card. I can edit the FD, add new bids, select between several cards and I get to see my own alerts. With Windows 7, I get the following weird behavior: 1) With a CC copied to the correct directory before I start up the BBO-client, the opponents can see the alerts defined in the FD card. So far, so good. The opponents being able to see the alerts is course the most important thing. But I cannot see my own alerts. This is not such a big problem. In the perfect world, I would prefer to see my alerts, to know which bids are not covered in the FD. Yes, the correct option is set in the option menu. No, I don't use this as a memory-aid (that would be illegal, I think) but rather to know which bids are not alerted in the FD, so I can do the alerts by hand when the FD card "runs out". However, the big problem is that I can't edit nor select another card. Nothing happens if I try to select/edit the chosen FD card. 2) Without a CC copied to the correct directory (i.e. if I delete the card by hand before starting the BBO client), I cannot create a new card. Nor can I select a card from another directory. Nothing happens when I click on the "conv"-button. I tried to re-install the BBO client. It didn't change anything. At the moment, my money is on a bug in the FD feature in 5.2.6 on Windows 7... a bug, which is clearly not there in Win2K or Windows Vista. It is not a big problem for me, I will learn to live with how it is. But surely there must be other Win7 users out there with a FD-card? :) ... I just wondered if they had seen the same problem. Regards Lars

Hi! I got myself a new PC with Windows 7 a few days ago. I always had a clear preference for the older Windows program over the web-access, so I naturally installed version 5.2.6 from the website on the new PC. Everything works like a charm, except weird things have happend with the support for the FD-card. I play a rather complex relay precision system, so to save time when playing, I made an FD card. But since upgrading to 5.2.6 + Windows 7, I can no longer... a) See my own alerts. This is slightly annoying, since the FD card doesn't cover the whole system. So, we get 2-3 bids into a relay auction and I have no idea if my bids are covered by the card. Or in other words: I have to alert almost everything by hand anyway, to make sure the opponents get an alert. :lol: Edit the card/select a new card. When I click on the "CONV" button and select "work systemcard"... nothing happens. Quite literally nothing. In the old world (Win 2000), I would get the option to select and edit the FD card. Any ideas what has gone wrong? Is there an issue with Windows 7 + version 5.2.6? Regards nimzo
