Had my follow up appointments this week. The main virus that appears to be an issue looks like a coxsackie virus, but a stealth version. The premade rife program that I downloaded from electroherbalism web page muscle tested very strongly. So, assuming that I can get my new vista computer to communicate with my f165, i will load the program and begin running it.
frustratingly, it appears that 64 bit vista requires that drivers be "certified" by microsoft. unclear that aletier robin drivers are, and no word back yet from AR on this issue, so not sure what to think
