Windows 7 migration

Just to follow up: I screwed up my courage and re-updated my G2 to OS 1.62. I also installed version 2.16 of the Nord USB driver on my Windows XP machine.

So far, I have had *NO* problems. In particular, loding lots of patches, which would hang the G2 when I was running Nord USB driver version 2.14, appears to work just fine.

I have also confirmed that the 2.16 driver works on Windows 2000.

If someone can confirm for me that the 2.16 driver and G2 editor work on Windows 7, that would please me no end.

thinking about upgrading my computer. i'm hesitant to try the G2 Editor v1.62 due to the stated issues, does anyone know if v1.40 runs ok on Windows7?

I tried Windows 7 RC1 some time ago, and my first test were the G2 editor and the Nord Sound Manager (for the Nord Lead 3). Both worked without problems.

No compatibility mode required.

FYI, I finally decided to try installing the 2.16 driver. I have had no problems since then. As far as I can tell, G2 OS 1.62 + Nord 2.16 USB driver works as well as 1.40 did.

This is on Windows XP, so I suppose there may be other problems on Windows 7...but as the older driver won't work with Windows 7 at all, it may not matter.
