    I just purchased the EQ6 software today after pondering it for a few days. I knew my computer ran on Windows XP , and we had purchased the unit maybe 5-6 yrs ago. I've been savoring each page as I read the manual at work (shh! don't tell!), came home and anxiously went to install it....and UGGGGH! My monitor doesn't have a high enough resolution!!!! I could just spit! Now I have to wait until next payday to get a new monitor! Waaaa!

    You may not have to, LaceLady contacted EQ and they helped her with her monitor, it had a lower resolution too. :D:D:D
    You may not be able to call them until Monday though.

    You can change the resolution on your computer very easily and you may not need a new monitor.

    IT WORKED! Installation complete! I could feel my pulse racing as I watched the program loading and all the names were scrolling... Grandmothers Flower Garden, 9 Patch, Sawtooth.... I hope nobody planned on me cooking our (Canadian)Thanksgiving turkey dinner this weekend! Momma's got a new toy!
