As a side note on the software; I purchased Encoreviewer 2.0 and found out the hard way it won't install on my 64-bit computer. Not sure if the 64-bit version is out or available to the general public, though.

Glad to hear it makes you feel rested. CPAP works for everyone, but works even better for some. And I guess you are one of those lucky people:)

There are ways around this. The easiest is to install on a 32-bit computer and then copy the directory to your 64-bit computer. The only thing that actually doesn't work on 32 bit is apparently the smart-card driver for the older CPAP machines. If you have a System One, you don't need that.

There may also be a way to hack the installer to ignore the restriction. People have done this for iTunes: http://sites.google.com/site/yukichigai/iphonex64

I ended up with a Resmed machine, not Respironics, so I don't actually have the EncoreViewer software to look at to see if this is possible, but if someone is adventurous, it might be something to explore.
