    I prefer an aluminum colander to tin foil, but these days I only have a plastic one.

    If the magazine files are in PDF format, what installation is needed other to copy the files from the USB to the desired drive location? If installation is required, that implies there is a supplied reader program. It could be that either the reader or the installer program for the reader is not Win 7 compatible.

    If the magazine files are actually in PDF format, skip the install. Create a folder on your hard drive where you want to store the files then copy them to that folder and use your favorite PDF reader to read them.

    I just thought of another possibility. The magazine files may be compressed into an archive and stored on the USB. They may have a proprietary archive program that is needed to unarchive the PDFZ files and it could be that program that is not Win 7 compatible.
