I am having some problems getting QL2K build 101 to work on Windows 7 64 bit. I
installed the full build, then added the update files for each version until
the most recent.
I have installed the 64-bit Windows version QL2K-x64.exe and when I try to run
this I get a brief flash of the round egg-timer icon then nothing, no error, no
nothing. It just fails to start.
I can of course get the 32-bit version to work on Windows XP OK. I also got
QPC2 and Q-emuLator working OK on both systems of course.
Anyone with any experience of installing the 64-bit version with any handy
hints and tips for the installation?

Hi Dilwyn,
Welcome to the worst Windows ever!!! I spend at least 2 weeks with a
large sledge hammer beating Windows 7 64-bit into submission. Finally it
yielded and started looking and performing like XP. Turning off UAC is
an essential first step. I found some 32 bit programs have to be
installed in 'Program Files' to work correctly.
