In the title as said, is there any difference in v 6.3b and v 6.4. This question applies to any data changes, where FOF files are located and what not or any data conversion required to go from 6.3 to 6.4? Thanks to all that respond.

Second, Can I still download v 6.3b or am I stuck downloading v 6.4?

Why, I asked; is that I am probably moving from xp pro to win 7 pro.

Finally, Is there anything I should be aware made of when I install the game on win 7 pro?

Is there anything I should be aware made of . . . ?

At substantial risk of being unduly snarky: that FOF7 exists and is much better?

To Corbes, I have no inclination to switch as I am fully satisfied with the current version that I have. If you have answers to the questions I asked, please be kind and answer them; If you don't, then please also be kind and don't post to this thread.
All I am asking is that the current members of this board be "HELPFUL" and respond to this post in a kindly manner.
If another member of this forum needed help or information about something and if I could be helpful, I would help.

The files for saved games and leagues will be in the application data folder under roaming. That's the only thing I can think about. I don't know if there is anything different really, mostly just minor tweaks from what I remember.

Other than that I highly recommend the new version as well. Its just a top to bottom better game and its on Steam, which makes things a breeze when it comes to license issues.

As far as I know, the last FOF2007 version/patch/update was 6.4.1. If you insist on sticking with 2007, I'd recommend at least upgrading to the latest version.

As Julio Riddols pointed out, if you're going to upgrade your OS, the important part is to backup your game files first, if you want to continue ongoing careers.

There was one game update that moved all the save files and data from under the Program Files\Solecismic Software folder to %APPDATA%\Solecismic Software\

If this is it, you'll just need to copy those folders -- such as leagues, universe, leaguehtml, and maybe(?) export and import -- into the FOF folder under %APPDATA%.

No other issues I can think of. I couldn't get FOF working on Win7 for a long time but that was because I was running ZoneAlarm. Weird thing.
