Hi Thomas,

Before we upgraded to Win 7, we often had system crash with winXP system. However, when I asked for win7, I was informed that similar thing, the hardware/driver issues. So I called some cores and found that there are some SP5 II with win 7 system. Since winXP is no longer supported by Microsoft any more, Leica finally helped us to upgrade the system. Feel free to email me if you have any question, I will try my best to help you.

Best,
Long

When we upgraded our SP5 to a new computer with Windows7, I asked about
doing the same for our SP2 system.  Although we could (and did) upgrade to a
better computer, Leica informed us that we could not leave WindowsXP as there
were insurmountable hardware and driver issues that prevent it.  I would keep the
old computer system intact in case you find that this is true.  On the other hand, if
you DO find a way to upgrade to Win7 (32 or 64bit), we would be very interested
in specific details.
