<BR>
A big problem is looming. IT has said it will disconnect from the network any PC running Windows 7 sometime next year. Once disconnected, the LabView code will no longer be able to verify the Lab license and the NMR programs will grind to an immediate halt. There is no sense in postponing the conversion to Windows 10. The new PC that is coming for rack #1 should be configured with Windows 10. I understand that the timing may well be different on W10 vs W7, and that you would like to verify your LabView code before the upgrade to W10. The PC now on rack #1 is running Windows 7. It does hang periodically, but it’s alive for sufficient periods to allow testing. You should carry on testing with that machine, and then undertake whatever changes are necessary to function under W10 when the new machine arrives. <BR>
<BR>
The Rack 2 machine will also have to be upgraded from W7 to W10.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,...Andy<BR>

Since you are the owner of the computer, it is best that you contact the buyer / computer center to set up the computer for Windows 7, along with the group login request and the request to keep the computer from going to sleep. We would like to stress that it is important that the computer be Windows 7, to eliminate possible timing issues that may arise with Windows 10 and the NMR program.<BR>
