    It works with my copy of Windows 7 64 bit. It does give an error message, but if you run it as administrator it’s fine. Some times it randomly decides to delete explorer though. And even through command prompt I can’t get it back. System restore gets it back fine though.

    only works if win7 is on c: drive, so as mine is on f: drive and XP is on c: drive i find this to be a complete and utter waste of time, he couldn’t even add the option to change drive letters, what a complete noob coder, hes a fucking selfish bastard, so either fix it for almost every pro who partitions for multiple os’ or consider yourself THE worst programmer of all time.

    @ Chris
    Thanks for your valuable inputs Chris. It appears that the software is not compatible with x64!! Will contact the developer more info. Thanks again.

    This blue screened me on Win 7 Pro x64. Completely lost my explorer.exe. I had to come to the desktop then ctrl-shift-esc, file->new task, cmd, then sfc /scannow and it repaired my desktop.

    I can’t get it to work. When choosing the orb I get a big error. Click continue and it goes back to the choose orb menu… And the orb will not change…
