Hi Stephen There's certainly no problem running Lady H under Win7, nor running T-BoltMon as per the original question, but some users seem to be finding the serial mouse problem to be more persistent under Win7 than it was in previous versions. It's not suggested that the usual fixes don't work, for example my disabling of the serial ball point mouse has worked for me so far and I'm hoping it's permanent just as it seems your disabling "serial enumerator" might have been, but there's also a lot of reports online from users who found the fixes to be permanent in earlier versions of Windows only to find with Win7 that they might only be temporary, either for a relatively short period before reverting or even needing to be applied evry time Windows is booted. It just seems to be a bit more hit and miss than it used to be and with less of a one for all guaranteed answer.

I run T-Bolt mon and Lady Heather successfully on Windows-7 64-bit using FDTI USB to serial converters. With the FDTI USB converters you can disable 'Serial Enumerator' in the advanced device properties to stop the port being assumed to be a mouse by Windows.
