Cumulus won't launch on Windows 7 (64bit) machine.

Been using Cumulus on an XP machine for 18 months with no problems; loaded it onto my new machine today and it won't even launch; does nothing. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The machine found the WX station USB input no problem, but thought Cumulus would have launched even with no WX station input.
Thanks,
Mike.

Quite possibly a permissions problem. If you've made sure not to install under Program Files, zip up the diags folder and attach it and I'll see if there are any clues there.

I cured it by reinstalling it under C:/; Steve; all working fine now. I was trying to make it work in Program Files but it wouldn't have it. My fault, I didn't read all the instructions as usual. Was trying to get it installed quickly as I had a lot of other things to do.

Thanks,

Mike.
