Planning on updating office computer. Our Tech doesn't think our lotus will run on the new Windows 7 64 bit. Need to confirm.

IBM is marketing Lotus now, so it's up to them.  http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/smartsuite/

If it works on Vista, it's very likely to work on Win7.

    I had this issue... and installed the program from the hardrive rather than the disk, put a blank dvd in the drive and formatted it to act like a thumb/storage drive ( to trick it into thinking there was the available memory there that is was asking for...) and it finally worked....

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    By 'Pure Luck', I installed a separate program using an external CD Drive [Via USB Cable] instead of using the 'Built In' CD/DVD Drive on the Dell Computer.  Out of curiosity, I decided to again attempt to install Organizer 6.0 using the external USB CD/DVD.  Lotus Organizer 6.0 installed 'Perfectly'........I was amazed, because I had attempted 10-12 different 'work arounds', but all those attempts were using the internal CD/DVD Drive on the Dell Computer, and all ending with the same error message:  'Not Enough Space On Hard Drive'.

    I do not know why - but after 4+/- days of attempting to install this program, I was finally successful.  Huh!

    Since then, I have attempted to install various other programs which also failed using the CD/DVD Drive which is internal to the Dell computer - Conversely, 'No Luck' with the external USB CD/DVD drive!  

    So, I have no reason to understand 'Why'.  But, at this point, I'm pleased that I was able to finally cause Organizer 6.0 to install correctly.  And, I'll continue to try various solutions on the remaining programs .............

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    If you have it installed, I would work on converting Org6 files to org5.  There must be a way.  I have been functioning with all things Lotus on Win. 7 and am grateful.
