Steam

Steam seems to be working just fine. I'm running the 64-bit version of 7 and the only issue I run into is the OpenGL problem where once you open up a game (i.e. CS 1.6), there are flickering lines. This is not so much an application issue but a driver issue (mine is an ATI Radeon HD3870). The work-around is to change it to OpenGL and "Windowed Mode." This will allow you to run any game in OpenGL without having a seisure .

I am having trouble with FileMaker Pro Advanced 10.0. I can get it to install properly and it will open a FM database locally but I cannot connect to a remote server to open a database. All of the other functions of this appear to work correctly, though.

As a cd/dvd burner for W7 I use cdburnerxp, same as I used in XP, Link Removed due to 404 Error
I havent tried AVG antivirus, I use ESED.
I would uninstall the programs you mentioned you think are causing the system to crash, one by one and try find out which program is the cause. If that doesnt help, try System Restore to a previous point before installing these programs.
Good luck to you / magnus

programs and windows7

My first run of W7 niether Nero or AVG refused to work and then my computer crashed along with a reboot. I tried deleting the programs then reinstall but no success. So I put a fresh copy of W7 on, tried AVG again and this time successful. Still a bit hesitent on Nero still.

Hi, I just installed the new build of Win 7 (Build 7022) and here Roxio Creator 2009 works flawlessly. Magix Movie Edit 14 installed with not glitches but did not run well, did not recognize my cd/dvd burners so I uninstalled it. Will try other programs.

Re: program incompatibility

Before you give up on a program not working with windows 7. Try right clicking on the installation program and check the compatibility option, when prompted try the vista with additional permissions first, if that doesn't work, try the xp with additional permissions next. If the program installs and runs fine, that's the end of it. But if the program installs and doesn't run, then try the same thing on the program exe. itself. I was able to install and run many programs that way, including the Acronis software for starters.
Hope this helps.

I always use AIM 5.2 along with Dead AIM 3.2 and it seems that AIM will only start once correctly. If I close it I can not get it to start again.

Can you explain better HaTaX?

I have the same lightScribe problem (it will not work... will not install with the Nero 7 Essentials LightScribe Edition installation disc.). I have emailed HP (HP dvd1040i DVD Writer) and also Nero. Nero , as expected, did not answer; and, as expected, HP suggested solution did not work. HP's solution/suggestion was to copy the installation CD to the hard drive and install from there. That suggestion did get Nero to install, but the installation acts as though it were not a lightScribe Edition.

I really do not understand your workaround as outlined here. Can you post some more detail?

Thanks,
John

RealVN <- You missed a C ???
Click to expand...

Both running on my PC, Acronis will install with setup exe in Vista compatibility mode and run in native mode.
I will not try any boot operations with acronis trueimage!!
But Acronis Disk Director is running fine with win7 7000.

RealVNC will also install the same way.

HaTaX, Please explain your LightScribe fix in some more detail. I don't quite understand what you did to fix it. I am able to get Nero 7 Essentials installed and working, but lightScribe feature doesn't work. This is the software supplied with an HP dvd 1040i DVD Writer.

Acronis True Image Home 2009 (64-bit)

Acronis True Image Home 2009 has worked in the 32-bit version of Windows 7, but not in the 64-bit version until now.
With Build 7048 I was able to install Acronis True Image Home 2009 without any problems. Fully tested as well.

As a follow-up, FileMaker appears to be working better with the RC. Also, my Symantec Endpoint Protection loaded and is working flawlessly.

PC Suite Sony Ericsson Mobile



Hi, I just joined the forum too
I found installing the PC suite stalled and I had warning messages about known incompatibility problems, so I emailed Sony Ericsson and they confirmed the PC suite is not fully compatible with Win 7 (64bit). They said no more than that so it's not clear what they intend to do about this.
