We purchased a Gestetner A045 7 years ago. We are now upgrading to Windows 7 and we have been told that it would be best to get a new plotter because the plotter is not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit

The smb version on windows 7 is new than the one on XP. You will need a firmware upgrade.

Try the www.husqvarnaviking.com website. Look for upgrades there. Also you could email the head office for suggestions.

make the reader option is enabled in the server application
there should be 4 applications running

***try to clean sensors: maybe it's dust on them.

Then if you are running latest Windows versions, you'll need a driver. Hp has dicontinued your plotter.

give me your system configuration. for capable for install the xp

The reason why you won't be able to upgrade is because Musicmatch was acquired by Yahoo Music a few years ago. Yahoo discontinued the software. I was a customer at the time myself and recieved an e-mail about it. It had to have happened a few years ago.

The plotter cover is the piece that you press down when installing a new roll of masters. it is located on the top right of the machine.

the way things sound, you definately need a new hard drive and battery. as for saving the information, thats a little dicy. its more than probable an expert can, but it may turn out to be difficult. As for where to send it, i'd say take it to the closest best buy and they will be able to help you amptly.
You will only have to upgrade to vista if you buy a new computer as a whole. you can still stay with 2000 if thats what you prefer.

This may be because the vista you have has not been registered or it is an upgrade from xp.

Vista doesn't have an upgrade yet, you can upgrade from xp, but not from vista. So this problem is wierd. Get in touch with Best Buy and let them solve the problem.
