    Liddle help needed Guys and Galls.
    galls.Just got a mail from a customer trying to hook up a IPT turboRIP in windows 7, 64-bit and seems to be failing.
    The turboRIP used is a old CPSI based system.
    Any ideas or should I just flog him a new RIP?

    Thanks all

    More than likely its the software will not run on 64 bit. You could always try installing in compatibility mode but I think the drivers will not like the 64 bit windows. Does your new rip support 64 bit ?

    It is a 64 bit thingy, the rip that the customer has is an antique and shoud have been sent to pasture around the time cuneiform was the font of choice.
    The latest mention I find of IPT is in a seybold report from 1997.
    That customer is going down the Harlequin road, just doesn´t know it yet.

    Sad but true,... these are the same people that cheap out, buy a really cheap underpowered PC ,keep it way beyond it life, complain,... then go and spend huge on a powerful Mac and have the nerve to say Mac's are great. Will not spend in the correct places.

    Just found out a bit more from this customer, surprising what you find when you dig a bit.
    Looks like they want to use the antique computer and rip as a printserver in a windows 7 enviroment, things get a bit fuzzy after that, gonna advise them to take a network tech weenie.

    I would think that a the low cost of PC's today the client would build a monster machine but then again I do not belive the client is always right,.. more like the client is often wrong.

    Yup, however our master sales guy (I will superglue his mouth around a sewerpipe) sold the RIP three years ago as a new version RIP to a unsuspecting trusting customer.
