Hello <sorry, I don't know your name>, I'm sorry you're having these problems. The circumstances where I can duplicate your conditions (using notepad, and going into the WE control panel), I am not having the problems you are. I use WE at home in vista, and at work in XP. I'd guess if you report all these to support, they'll start working with you to see what's a WE bug, and what's something peculiar to your system. As for notepad I have one suggest: if you will install the windows manager app, and configure it to always maximize the notepad screen, I find it works much better because it doesn't work well when not maximized, and I don't always remember to maximize it. maybe the same tip will help for the applications where you hear double speech. This reminds me: for windows mail, do you have the app loaded which is supposed to automatically read emails to you when you open them (it could be the cause of this problem)? I have to say I always open the WE control panel with the hotkey, and otherwise I keep it in the systray; you could try doing this so that you don't get the incorrect set file displayed. like anything, 7.5 isn't guaranteed to be bug free; you may have found one with the set file displayed, I don't know. if you did, I have a feeling it will be fixed soon, and for free, based on past history with GW. Yes, over-all is it better, my opinion is still yes. The other items I listed though, including the support of UIA applications and the improved WE control panel interface, they're not so much opinion; they are there for xp users to enjoy. I hope you get yours straightened out soon. Chip

It's also much more stable, with many fewer memory leaks and crashes, than 7.2. It also has various scripting enhancements such that you'll find, apps on app central are now being created which will only run on 7.5 and later (I believe the WinAmp app is like this). And of course, in the past, GW continued to offer a series of free upgrades after a major paid upgrade, which added more capabilities, and will only be available to those who move to 7.5. hth, Chip _____ From: Les Gordon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: 7.5 for xp sp3 hello everyone, i am running win xp sp3 with 7.2 i wanted to find out, since i'm sticking to xp pro for right now what big advantages is there to upgrade to 7.5? thanks for the help les Cd/Dvd Duplication & Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (267)329-8150 email: [email protected] web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5968 (20110319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5968 (20110319) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. part000.txt - decompression could not complete (possible reasons: insufficient free memory or disk space, or a problem with temp folders) part001.htm - decompression could not complete (possible reasons: insufficient free memory or disk space, or a problem with temp folders) http://www.eset.com If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
