Getting Juice 2.2 Podcatcher to work in Windows 7

There are only two problems with getting the default install of Juice 2.2 (http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/) to work under Windows 7: the .EXE file needs to be set to run in "XP SP2 compatibility mode" and they've changed the directory name "My Documents" to "Documents" in the operating system so you need to modify the "IPODDER.CFG" file to reflect this.

Install Juice 2.2 as usual.

Go down into C:\Program Files\Juice and right-click on the JUICE.EXE file. In the properties window, click on "Compatability" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" compatibility mode.

Go down into C:\USERS\\AppData\Roaming\iPodder\ and open the file IPODDER.CFG. Change the text in the line beginning with "download_dir=" from "My Documents" to "Documents."

Close everything and restart Juice -- it should run as it did under XP or W2003.
