    Windows 7 Windows 7 Backup

    My Acronis True Image 2009 failed. I didn't know that it was incompatible with Windows 7. I made a complete backup (which I presume is an image of drive C using the Windows 7 inbuilt backup. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Acronis system, but is the built-in system as...

    Windows 7 Running an old 16-bit program under Windows 7

    Hi all, I have an ancient copy of Foxpro for Windows 2.6 from the early 1990s that I've moved from PC to PC over the years. I don't reinstall from original disks; I just copy the program's directory into \program files\ and it's worked fine on systems up to and including XP3. I did need to...

    Windows 7 Need a free download manager and a print screen too.

    In XP Pro I used Free Download Manager free with no trouble at all. I also used Gadwin Print Screen free with no trouble. However I haven't been able to see that these two are approved for use in W7. Do any of you know what I could use? Thanks. J.
