There is no problem running filePro using Windows 7.  You do not need to run
filePro in XP mode.

I have filePro running on my laptop Window 7 Pro, and moved a client's
system from XP to Windows 7 Home 64bit yesterday.  The only change is that
filePro runs much faster on the new laptop.  I also have clients running
filePro on Windows 7 Pro workstations without a problem.

So, my question to you, has the location of the files changed with the move
to Windows 7?

What does his startup file look like and what are the locations of filepro
and fp folders?
