Yes, there is an XP virtual support for W7. It is a separate download and I may try that later, but I would like to try to keep things pure Windows 7 if possible. Thanks for the idea.

Doesn't Windows7 have XP virtual support? Can't you run the Icom software on a XP VM ?

Subject: [D-STAR_23cm] ID-1 and Windows 7
Hi all:
I recently had to buy a new computer for my shack due to the failure of a Windows XP machine. I have been running my ID-1 through the computer because operation is so much easier in D-Star mode than using the control face. The new computer is a Windows 7 machine and I have been unable to get the Icom ID-1 software to work with it. Has anyone on the reflector also experienced this? The program comes up on the computer, but no matter what port number I try, and I tried all 256 of them, the radio simply will not respond. I'm guessing that Icom will have to come up with a new disc for W7.
I have sent an email to the Icom Technical Support people and am awaiting a reply.
73, Don
