Barnacle, could you please PM me and tell me how you got Mapcreate to work on your new computer..I can't get it to run on Windows 7. Thank you.

I'll tell you here in case someone else wants to know. So far this has been working fine for me and I'm running Win7, 64 bit. There may be a shorter way but this is how I did it. Load the program, right click on the shortcut to it created on your desktop, then click compatibility and change it to run in Windows 2000. I tried some of the others but Win 2000 seems to be working the best.
