I use EccoPro to manage all sorts of information. Now I need to move from a windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. (Windows7 Professional, 32-bit on a Dell desktop computer, and 64-bit on a Toshiba laptop computer.) When I go to http://www.compusol.org/ecco/ I see that I can pay a reasonable membership fee and just download a new version of Ecco Pro, designed for Windows seven. It is "much improved" with all sorts of additional features. "Compared to the Standard Installer Version 4.0.1.363 you will find a vast improved Information Manager which brings together your contacts, calendar, appointments, tasks and projects in one integrated application." What I want is something that will function the way my current version 4.01 functions. Basically, I need the notepads and columns, the ability to sort and filter. I need something that will open the many .eco files I have already created, that have so much data stored in them. When I look at the graphic, it seems that the new Ecco has many windows for different functions. Will I be able to get rid of those windows and go back to the look I'm used to? I realize there may be some new features that would benefit me, but my top priority now is to get myself functional on the new computer ... I can't spare the time to learn any new features. I still have the Setup32.exe file dated 05/08/2004 6,721,202 bytes. It looks like I have three choices: I could learn how to install setup32.exe under Windows 7, OR I could download EccoPro from Compusol, OR I could download "the tested and stable EccoProX Installation" from Compusol. I am hoping someone can advise me the simplest, most reliable way to get my current eco files readable and usable on a Windows 7 computer. If I download EccoProX, is there a way to make it look and feel like my current version of Ecco Pro? Will it read my current files? Many thanks!
