PsiWin / EConnect VS Windows 7

  • Good afternoon All,

    Has anyone successfully installed and used PsiWin / Econnect against Windows 7 PC machines?

    E.g.

    • Windows 7, 32-bit Home Edition
    • Windows 7, 64-bit Professional Edition

    All ideas, recommendations, suggestions are welcome Smile

    Kind regards,
    Jacques

  • Sorry no help from my side, but asking the same questions. A lot of our old-time customers using PsiWin with Workabout MX (and Psion PLC products like Series 3, 5, netbook EPOC) need a working solution to connect it to Windows 7 desktop PCs. Any help is welcome !

  • Some piece of infos added: For Windows 7 64bit variant please run PsiWin in "XP compatibility mode".

    Also make sure that the Virtual PC (XP Mode) COM port setting matched that on the actual PC (Windows 7).

  • Another path is to use Java Psion Link which is multi platform. It is more limited in file conversion than PsiWin but it does work. See my article on tobidog.com

    Regards

  • With Windows 7 32 bits run OK BUT NOT WITH 64 BITS

    you must instal an emulator or Virtual Machine for XP by example:

    VMware(VM Workstation 7.1)

  • What he said. My brief 'how to' at stevelitchfield.com/psionusb.htm may also be of help here.
