Just in case anyone missed the posts in the Vista thread, ProntoProEditNG works just fine with 64-bit Windows 7 with some simple steps.

1. Go to [Link: microsoft.com] and follow the instructions to download and install the two pieces in the order indicated in the instructions.

2. Run an XP Mode virtual machine, and install ProntoProEdit on it.

3. When you attach the remote, Windows 7 won't know what to do. In the XP Mode virtual machine, use the USB menu to attach "Unknown Device"

4. You'll be prompted to install the driver. Click OK and you may get a message looking for PRONTO2G.sys. Browse and point it at Program Files/Philips/Drivers/Win2KXPME.

5. Upload and download to the remote. Yay!

I just finally updated my 7500 for the first time since my last 32-bit Vista computer died a few months ago. So nice to be able to change things again!

Wow thanks alot!!!!!! Finally I can use my new laptop to program my 7500!!!! I have been stuck using a 6 year old xp laptop that was slow as molasses.

If you try this be sure to use the USB tab at the top of the screen. I did not see it the first time I tried it and was unsucessful. I made the mistake of going directly through device manager and doing the same basic steps mentioned above but Pronto NG did not recognise the device. Once I noticed the USB tab at the top of the XP window, I uninstalled the service from device manager unpluged the device and repluged back it in. This time I pressed the USB tab at the top of the page and after following the steps listed above it worked like a charm.

Thanks again!!!
