Windows 7 and X-Keys - A few issues

[Fizzler]

How is that for support! Got to love a company that knows their customer base.

It is funny I actually went from Hardware mode to Software when I transitioned to Win7. Like I said in my earlier post I ended up having to insert key up and down but I am good to go rock solid works like a champ.

I will admit that I am glad I do not have an SE version the work around is not appealing.

Hi everybody,

My name is Rocco and I'm a tech with P.I. Engineering. Right now we are working on Windows 7 support with a new version of MacroWorks. We hope to have something ready in the next couple of months. For now I would recommend using our hardware mode programming option: http://www.piengineering.com/software/hardware.mode.php.

Please note this will depend on the type of firmware you have. If you flip your X-key over and it says “SE” on the back you will need access to a Windows XP to do the initial programming then you can move the X-key to Windows 7.

If it says “MWII” on the back you can use the X-keys Hardware Mode Programming Utility on Windows 7 but be sure to follow the directions in grey on the link above.

If you have any problems you can contact me at tech@xkeys.com

Thank you so much that's classy support !
I have a SE and no XP, so I'll wait for your new version of MacroWorks. It's already awesome to know you're working on it. I'll try the insert up down key in the meanwhile.

Thank you all for your help and just hope it served others as well.

Are there any updates of the compability of XKEYS SE and Windows 7. I want to switch to Win 7 as soon as xkeys is supported. So any updates from that side?

Cheers
