I have a laptop XP that works great with my 440. I also have a Vista PC....it doesn't work great. The company
you need to get in touch with is OESD embroidery.
There are patches on the website, don't know if there
are any for the Windows 7....but I had to put 5 patches on my Vista in order for it to work. It may be that it is
just too soon for them to have been informed of any patches needed for the Windows 7.....I upgraded to Version 6 software and they are just now getting the gliches in the quilting software part....from the quilters using the software. Good luck with your trials and trebulations. If your Bernina dealer is anything like mine they will work hard to get you up and embroidering soon!
