legacy software

I have an old tool, Norton Navigator, that I still use. Yeah, I know it's ancient, but it still does some very useful things for me. It has previously worked fine in all versions of windows. However in W7 I get SmartHeap Library - MEM_BAD_POINTER errors on a somewhat random basis. Google...

Hi Guys, I bought an app that requires IE7 and I cannot find any place that offers a Win7 version. How may I run IE7 on a Win7 64 Bit OS? Heck, I cannot even find an IE7 that will run on my Vista 64bit OS! I read about Virtual PC Is that an option? If so how is this done? Thanks for any...

Hi all I like W7 as much as the next person but there are a few reasons why I'M STILL keeping XP around for a while even after the final W7 is released. These applications will NOT run on even VISTA, so no chance also on W7. 1) Legacy HP plotter and my Engineering drawing software -- it...

Does Windows Mail survive from Vista to live on in Windows 7? I do hope not!

If anyone is considering Windows 7 with Virtual XP being a requirement, make sure that your processor is capable. The processor (Intel) must be VT Technology qualified. There is a similar feature necessary for AMD processors ........ I think it is called something like "V spec" or such. In...

Hello to everyone and congratulations for this great site. I've recently installed Windows 7 RC1 x64 on my machine and I can say that I'm really enthousiastic with the new windows. They are so stable and light that I love working on them. However my job requires to run Adobe After Effects CS4...

Has anyone found a way to install .net framework v1.1? I use Soudforge v8.0 to edit audio files and it won't install unless .net 1.1 is installed on the machine. I have tried to install .net v1.1 and the service pack and can't get it to install.

This device worked fine on my XP64 pc but now it doesnt. Of course i have tried to install the software in compatibility mode for both xp sp2 and sp3 but it refuses to let me saying that this software is not supported by this operating system. Its a pain but not critical. I have placed the...

Well, I have XP on my old laptop, dual booting with Windows 7, because the Source SDK's faceposer lip sync doesn't work with SAPI 5.3, which is what comes preinstalled on Windows Vista/7. Aside from that, I use Vista as my primary OS, and 7 on my older laptop when I'm not using the SDK.

Okay so I currently use Vista HP x64 and want to install both Windows 7 RC versions (x86 and x64) on a seperate hard disk to compare some compatability things that my Vista x64 box can't do as it is 64-bit. The programs in question are the old Worldgroup/MajorBBS (and assorted games that i have)...

I have a few apps that arnt working correctly under Windows 7.. according to what I read about the Virtual PC / XP mode for Win 7.. almost eveything should work when ran under this 'program'. Problem is I have an older processor that does not support the Virtualization technology...

Hi all I've been testing this-- if you want to have a go yourselves you can download at "The green devil". Look for "XPM". Remarks so far 1) Very nice Integration with W7 desktop. 2) The windows XP machine's virtual screen driver is based on "S3" and is only 16 bits -- not a real problem as...

Has anyone looked into using the Virtual PC version that comes with XP Mode for more than just XP Mode? I see a Library that holds the XP Mode VM, is there a way that I can build these and run them from Virtual PC, or is this version of Virtual PC only able to run XP Mode?

If you use IE8 you'll know that on some sites you need to hit the 'comapatibilty' button in order for the page to display correctly. If you've ever wondered how many of these sites there are then don't worry as this link will answer all your questions..... Link Removed

I did a quick search and didn't see anything. I'm guessing the answer is no, but I wanted to see if anyone had tried or found a way to uninstall IE8 beta and install IE7. Several websites that our company uses don't work in FF and don't work in IE8 beta (at least not properly, frames don't...

Hi guys I've been trying to Break W7 build 7022 -- for ALL the apps I use (even legacy XP stuff for which there are no known VISTA / W7 updates) Build 7022 works 100%. Note this was an upgrade (XP===>VISTA ULTIMATE (32 Bit) ==>W7 Build 7022. Ony issues are 1) Can't uninstall Microsoft...
