Does anyone know if Activity Generator and Activity Master run well on Windows 7? My Windows XP system has gone down for the last time and so I am forced to move on.

I switched to Win 7 - 2 years ago and have had no problems. Both programs will install into C:/Program Files (x86) and will work OK
Enjoy Win7 - when you get used to it - it is a great program.

I'll second that. They both work fine with Windows 7.

Both programs will run fine under Windows 7. However, I would install the programs into a folder outside of the Program Files (x86) folder. I would also install Train Simulator outside that folder as well. Less headaches and you won't have to fool around with setting the permissions to run as you will in the Program Files (x86) folder due to the security rules of Windows 7. I created a folder in the C:\ drive named MSTS. In C:\msts, I have install all my programs related to Train Simulator and have not experienced any problems relating to some security issue.

Thanks. Windows 7 will be my choice so it's good to know these programs are compatible. I'm not hearing great things about Windows 8.
