Has anyone encountered problems using their DR1000 with Windows 7 PCs?

I decide to have a New Year clear out of files on my DR1000 today but could not get the PC companion software to work. I made several attempts to connect my unit to the PC but the companion software did not autorun.

I tried linking to three separate PCs, all running Windows 7 with the same result on all PCs.

In desperation, I fired up my old laptop running Win XP to see if the SD card had been corrupted, however the software auto loaded and ran just as it should. Moving back to Windows 7 the problem was still there.

I can manually run the companion software but it would be nice to have the machine run properly. Particularly as I plan to use it much more in the coming year.

If any one out there has found a solution I would appreciate hearing about it
