Hello Some time back there was a question regarding WinBibDB. We also faced similar problem. But our experience is somewhat different. WinBibDB worked perfectly well on a Desktop computer (Dell) with Windows 7. But the same didn't work with a Laptop (Dell) with Windows 7. Strange behaviour?
Regarding replacement for WinBibDB - the best is to use JabRef which is based on Java. Or there is a Tcl/TK based applet is also available. Choice is yours. But I like the look of WbibDB very much - because the final screen shows the data as if it is written on a reference card!!
