I can't help but you might be interested in a message I sent to this list
last November:

"I have for several months been running Virtual RPC-AdjustSA on my
Windows 7 machine. Yesterday, the computer failed to start and required a
repair to the BOOTMGR which was successful and everything was as before
except for a couple of problems with my VA.

This, along with a number of other programs has a shortcut button on the
button bar. Until yesterday all of these programs required a single click
to start them, now the VA program requires a treble click whereas all the
rest still start with a single click. There is also a new strangeness
when I shut down from the RISC OS task manager; this used to work
normally and the program shut down gracefully now it shuts down to an
empty, transparent window and then Windows reports a fault and starts to
search for a solution. Everything else is normal as far as I can see.

Any ideas where I might find a fix for this?

Brian

Windows 7 32-bit Home Edition
Virtual RPC-AdjustSA
RISC OS 6.20"

The good folk at T.O.M.S came up with a few ideas but none helped.
Shortly after this Windows 7 became very flaky on that machine and it now
runs Ubuntu and I run Win 7 on a different machine with no problems.
