SUCCESS! Thank you for sending the file. I was able to load it without a problem. And as a result I've been able to identify the issue with my CCP configuration!

I'm still working it out because it doesn't make sense, but...

My config file is far more complex than the sample you sent, however, I did notice one thing when loading it. It had a ghaphic theme different than what I was using.

I had built a custom graphic theme years ago and have been using it in my remotes for years. You can use a different graphic theme for Watch, Listen, and FAVS. I selected a standard theme for Watch and the file loaded just fine.

My custom theme is still being used for Listen and FAVS so I'm not sure why WATCH isn't liked by CCP on Windows 7. Because after-all, there is NO PROBLEM loading this file from Windows XP.

But at least I'm light years closer to understanding this than ever! And I know I can load it from my Windows 7 workstation...
