Stephen, I can’t comment on the possible Windows 7 64-bit issues, since I’m running XP/32. I periodically get something like “List index out of bounds” and some times I have to “OK” the error window a dozen times, but I never have to terminate the program (that happened once at the beginning, but it hasn’t yet happened again). I’ve had one or two other error messages, but I don’t think they were of the sort you describe, although I may have had one access violation. The biggest problem I’ve encountered is that if I do complex two-way cloning, occasionally the content of a node (in all cloned versions) disappears. This only happened a couple times, and fortunately I had been saving lots of backups, so I retrieved the lost data. But I have now adjusted my habits in the direction of less cloning. At this point, despite some annoying quirks, I’m still finding ADM to be may favored environment on Windows.
Anyway, that’s a shame the program doesn’t run on 7/64. My guess is it will remain a legacy product, accessible to those determined to run it, but dysfunctional on the latest systems.
