Neil,
The XP mode for Windows 7 is a full XP VM so that you are now having
trouble under XP and not under Windows 7. This hsould qualify you for
tech support again as IDL 6 was designed to run under Windows XP.
To double-check that the XP mode is not somehow quirky, you could
install Virtualbox/Virtual PC/VMware and try installing XP from the
original CD.
