Well I got dx4win to run on the windows 7 machine but I had to copy the directory from the xp machine and put it in the same directory on win 7 machine....program files. If I put it under c:\ upon execution of dx4win it would open a window saying it could not find the log and dx4win ended up minimized in the task bar. From that point I could not open it. So whats the downside of having it installed in program files on win 7 and also is there any downside in installing by copying the directory across and not using the install process which puts entries in the registry.

Easy, just file | Open and navigate to where the log file is NOW. Then when you exit and restart, all will be good. Or you can write your preferences to an INI file using the old version, copy the directorie(s), delete DX4WIN.CFG, then merge that INI file into your new empty configuration.
