You should change the compatibility mode on equest. Right click on the
program icon and you will get a properties window. Under compatibility tab,
you can set it to windows XP. The error will go away.
Note that I have not been able to get the economizer to work the regular
way in this mode. I have to use the min air schedule of 0.001 to get the
economizer to work.
