searching for sleepyhead 9.6 instructions for Win7

Finally decided to download it but only ended up with file folder. Can someone point me to directions for windows 7 please. I know they are here but searching did not get me there. Thanks

you should get 0.9.8-1, 9.6 is older and buggier.

there's no installer for either, you just extract the files, then go into the folder and run the sleepyhead exe.

Thank you, will do that. I never seem to have much luck with the search box.

what're you searching for?

I often don't have much luck with it either... I get better results many times by going to google and searching for "site:cpaptalk.com whatever" since google indexes cpaptalk.com into their search engine.

if you're looking for the current sleepyhead, see below

Palerider, I find that when searching a phrase in the search box I get a list of posts with any of the individual words listed. I do usually end up using Google where, if needed, I can contain the phrase in quote marks to find only mostly that. Thanks for the extended help.

Just an add on: After reading what the newest sleepyhead will do I realized I really would not use any of those features and decided to stay with 9.5 for a while. Other that switching from cpap to apap recently(with good results) I am doing well with pretty basic treatment. Most night are under one now and only RERAs and Hypopneas when higher. I just had my cpap one year anniversary and Know I was lucky to find this site and got lots of help to start.

The 9.8 release works a lot better in a number of subtle ways, so I encourage you to get it. However, 9.5 is still pretty good if you don't suffer from any of the important bugs or limitations it has.

I did download it and low and behold I now have three active SleepyHead "builds" I guess. Some issues but all are working and have the same data. I do like my newest sheep but wish she had a bell or perhaps a black spot. I have a budding herd on my taskbar now but can tell them apart by position.
I like the graphs but will have to sort out the new " By Pressure" one it will take a little study to understand all the triangles I see.
I am glad I did not give up.
