Peter (and anyone else in the same boat),
How long has it been since you've had a serious discussion with us (in
your case - DAAP) to see if some licensing arrangement could be reached?
VDF 7.3 is will be 4 years old in April and the list of fixes,
improvements and new technologies (let alone support) between 7.3 and
10.1 (let alone 11.0 - coming soon) is so large, it isn't even fair to
try to compare the two! At what point, do the licensing costs (even at
list prices - which nobody pays anyway) become less "expensive" than
what you are missing - especially when you add in all the time and
effort you've spent just getting 7.3 to do what you need it to do on
newer platforms or with newer technologies.
Best regards,
-SWM-

Subject: Re: vdf7.3 and word crashing
More Information established.
1. It used to work on all my XP PCs
2. Different versions of the program (going back 6 months) now no longer
work. Sometimes it appears to work in some situations.
3. So what is different - XP Service Pack 2?
Conclusion. I will need to test further on other PC's elsewhere.
If DAW can change their licensing policy I could upgrade to vdf10.1
