                I just installed ViaCad 7 on a Dell Inspiron 15 (low end) running Windows 7, 64 bit. Colors from ViaCad 6 parts come into Version 7, as black and rotating models is really slow. Is the laptop's graphic card not up to the task ? Version 6 worked great on my old laptop running XP. A balloon did pop up saying something about colors not being compatible with Windows 7.

Drop me an email at 
tim.olson@punchsoftware.com  if would like to get on the list for service pack prerelease (949).  I'm wondering if the issue is still in the pre release.
