Hi Rich,
I am guessing that your code uses sockets. If that's case, then
I would guess that it is your firewall settings on W7 that are
causing the headache. Try disabling all firewalls and running
your old code.

Also, since Xmaxima communicates to Maxima over a socket, you
can try running it to help isolate the problem.

I think the problem is that Winsock.dll is not compatible with Windows 7.
