Hi Bob,

Thank you for your advice and my apologies for the delay in replying as I have been away from my PC for a few days. It is good to know that the Audigy will work with Windows 7.

Because of other software and hardware compatiblity problems/uncertainties in upgrading/rebuilding however, I am now checking the feasibility of keeping my existing PC as is and purchasing a new Windows 7 PC to run in parallel. This should make the Windows upgrade less problematic and preserves my access to some existing hardware and software, presently working satisfactorily, which would otherwise become redundant. I think that the majority of my music software will install satisfactorily on the Windows 7 PC so I will then have potential access on both computers.

Regards,
Peter J
