Just a quick note.

I recently bought a new computer which runs Windows7 Home Premium. I tried installing BB4W Demo version. It worked OK except I couldn't change the font setting. I tried the compatibility setting and setting it to Windows XP (SP2). It now works OK, as does BB4W full version. Hope this might help someone.

The usual reason for not being able to change the font is forgetting to deselect the Use System Fixed Font checkbox first (it's selected by default and easy to miss).

BB4W v6.00a (both trial and paid-for) is fully compatible with versions of Windows up to 8.1 (in fact it even has a Windows 10 compatibility manifest!).
