Technical Bulletin: Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users

Please note that Macro Recorder and the original MacroWorks software (released in 2005) are not Windows Vista or 7 compatible. Please do not install these programs on Windows Vista or 7, as they will not work correctly and you may not be able to uninstall them properly. Windows Vista and 7 users should use MacroWorks 3.  For questions regarding this technical bulletin, please contact tech@piengineering.com.

Applications which support our X-keys and Y-mouse products may be found here. If you don't find what you are looking for, please e-mail us.
