You are missing a required ActiveX control.

Are you using a 32bit Win7 or a 64bit Win7?

How do I know 32 bit or 64 bit coming from? Where should I click at to tell me if it is 32 or 64.

Click on the start button and type in System Information in the search box and when that shows up in the window above click on it and info on your computer will show, and beside system type it will read x64-based PC if it is a 64 bit OS.

Since this is a brand new computer Stuart - it is almost certainly 64-bit.

But do check as mentioned above.

There are some favorite older programs which take some special tricks to make work on 64-bit, and some you will have to give up using.

Which should excbuilders using 32 or 64 bit locate?

Do yourself a favor and do not install ExcBuilder in either Program Files folder.

Create a new folder in you root drive, C:\Scenery Tools, and put any of your old programs like ExcBuilder in there.

Life will be much simpler if you do.
