I use this command:

SendKeys ("{PGDN}")

&

SendKeys ("{PGUP}")

to assign the page down & page up buttons function to a clickable key. In Windows 7 this causes a runtime 70 error. Is there another command to try to perform the same function.

Did you ever find a resolution for this?

Windows 7....and so it begins...
I've also heard Networking horror stories.
 
No, nothing. I guess i will just have to remove the buttons & resort to the keys. I actually like Windows 7 a lot. It's much faster than XP and much better than the Vista on my wife's laptop. No networking issues. Only problem is you cannot upgrade direct from XP, you have to go through Vista first, or do a clean install. I chose the later. My computer was horribly bogged down after 4 years since I first installed XP. I have found very few incompatibilities. Nero 7, partition magic 8 & Acronis disk back up. There is a new version of Acronis out that solves that one. I was unable to install Xara menu maker, but when I tried doing it in safe mode it went in no problem. I am running a bare bones XP on an extra hard drive so i can boot to that if I need to run anything incompatible for now. I have heard the Win 7 professional will allow a virtual XP machine in it to run those apps..
