Thanks for both replies. I'll remember them when shopping for a new computer. I have 64 bit windows and downloaded 64 bit Racket 6.9. Later I'll try 32 bit Racket, which should be accepted too by 64 bit Windows. Thanks again, Jos

DrRacket (32bit) launched with no problems. Check the operating system type(32-bit/x86 or 64-bit x64) is the same as the DrR download type.

Running the exe anyway gave a DrRacket that aborts after opening it. I have Windows 7 with Bullguard protection. In the past I saw the warning often for dayly night builds, but ignoring the warning (almost) never gave problems. Soon I'll switch to a more modern system (preferably not with windows; what would be a cheap and yet good choice? I also need a good replacement for Microsoft Office 2003. I ask these questions here, because Racket (besides email and a replacement for Microsoft Word) is my most important tool.)
