Ouch! My computer just crashed and it was Windows XP. My new one is Windows 7. I have not tried to download the program for my Magic Box yet and now I feel forwarned. It also means that the ones on the market may not work either. I got it only 2 years ago. Going to check the specks on the program. Thanks for the heads-up. --- I knew it was going to fail soon because it was checked and I did back-up all my files on an external hard drive.
