That shouldn't matter. I wonder if there might just
be some minor glitch. Maybe I'll try setting up
PSP5 on my Win7-64 box and see what happens.
Sometimes older software is made with bad assumptions.
Example: We were talking about this recently somewhere.
Visual Studio 6 works fine on Win7, but it assumes msjava.dll
is present because MS had their own version of Java
back then and I think there was a J++ part to VS. The
fix: Create a dummy, 0-byte file in System named
msjava.dll.
