Solution found, but you won't like it

Thanks for your comments. After a lot of forum searching, a solution to run the DSI on Win 7 64-bit seemed the only last option, which involved installing VMWare Player on the Win 7 (32-bit) laptop, installing XP Home in the partition, and then installing Autostar and Envisage in the XP partition. Even then it didn't recognise the DSI drivers, until in desperation I directed Add Hardware to the Driver folder in the installed Autostar folder in Programs. Go to the Envisage folder (even though that is not the installed Envisage!), and burrow down to the XP drivers, and Add Hardware finally recognised and installed the DSI. When is Meade going to understand you can't buy new laptops with XP anymore, or even downgrade a Win 7 installation?

Best Rgds,
Bob
