I have Win7 on a couple of computers at home. I'm finding there are any
number of programs that would run on WinXP that won't run on Win7.
Primarily it's just that software suppliers haven't caught up to Win7.
In time, I'm sure they will, but in the meantime - it's frustrating

I recently installed Window 7 after after an unfixable blue screen of death=
with aVista and xp installation.
Like you, I've found that my most used software does not work with Windows =
7. Not only that but there are no current upgrades for those programs for W=
indows 7; but Windows 7 allows you to create a separate partion without rel=
oading the operating system. Then you can upload your old Windows XP and cr=
eate a dual boot drive and have all your old XP programs working.
I'm getting ready to do just that as soon as I get all my important files b=
acked up to my stand alone hard drive.
Regards,
June

Do you get an error message when you try to run it? If so, copy down
the EXACT message and Google it. In all probability others will have
had the same problem and (hopefully) one of them will have found a solution=
.

By "No luck," what do you mean? Couldn't download it? Couldn't
install it? Couldn't run it? Again, any error messages?

Hi Robert and John,
I am no expert, but can fiddle around a little. Having just been introduced
to Windows 7, I am still finding my way around, and trying to find out
which of my programs will work on it. You can go to Microsoft.com and check
which programs can work with Windows 7. They have a list of programs, some =
of
which work, some of which are with an indication that the information is st=
ill
being updated.
Good luck.

Not the cheapest solution, but if you upgrade to Win7 Pro or
Ultimate, you can download Microsoft's "XP Mode" add-on and run XP
that way. It uses the "Windows Virtual PC" feature.
But I can just imagine that There Will Be Blood.... oops!... I mean
that there will be certain programs and hardware devices that still
don't work satisfactorily.

Window 7 Compatability page says that Picasa 3 is compatible with the 32 bi=
t
version of 7. Here is the web address for those that don't have it already.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx
So far I have only had one issue with 7 and that is my scanner doesn't have
a driver. That, of course, isn't Window's fault but rather Epson's. Or
possibly mine for having a scanner that is old enough to be in first grade.

I have read with my own eyeballs that Microsoft changed it from ending
this year but extended it to 2014. I will need to check that again
however. In the computer business, like politics, things are changing
constantly, so I would not bet the ranch on that date.

Check out VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/
It's not free though there's a trial. It may add life to your old
scanner.

I am trying to figure out why anybody needs to upgrade to 7. Most
of my software is open source and it sound like some might not work on
system 7. All of it works on XP and most of it works on Linux on my

I know nothing about this except my husband used the W7 when in Beta and lo=

I am probably expressing it wrong but he said the 32 bits is much more comp=

Vista users are prime targets for an upgrade to Windows 7.=3D20
I wiped and installed Windows 7 on a lawyer's Sony Vaio that was messed =3D
and slow and horrible on Vista. It was hours of my time backing up, =3D
erasing and isnstalling OS and all other programs, good for me, but the =3D
client got all of his lawyerly windows only programs back running at the =
=3D
speed of a sprite compared to the quicksand it had been. One was a pain =3D
to get working but persistence won out.
7 is a really really nice operating system and does some things better =3D
than even XP. You can choose to install 64 bit or 32 bit, depending on =3D
your RAM mainly. Macintosh is still way the best OS. It's newest =3D
release, Snow Leopard, is 64-bit but it will run 32-bit programs no =3D
problem.
Most newer operating systems fix bugs and improve on earlier versions, =3D
except Vista which was widely declaimed worse on all but the newest or =3D
slimmest computers. It's not like waiting for the thing to break before =3D
you get a new one. It will feel as though broken if you don't get a new =3D
one. The hardware may work but the software can balk. Unless you are =3D
running just a few programs, don't change peripherals and limit your =3D
involvement with the wider area network, at some point you will need to =3D
be in the same decade of OS as other users.=3D20
And at some point new programs are no longer compatible with older =3D
operating systems. That hasn't happened yet with XP, and may not for a =3D
while, it still has a huge institutional base, but it has with W2K.=3D20
If you're going to go Linux you've got to know what you're doing, or =3D
have someone else who does, so you're somewhat immune from upgrading =3D
before the hardware is dead and in fact Linux is a great replacement for =
=3D
a dead OS on a live box.=3D20

Mine came on my netbook. Lighting fast (solid state hd) with
absolutely no problems.
I look forward to the Chrome operating system.

As long as the turf is being covered ------
One of the problems encountered with the Big BOX store sales of
computers is they often come with W7 installed, but no Microsoft W7
disk. If you encounter a problem that requires use of the original disk
- you are in for some hassles - and in a worse case scenario - you may
have to go out and buy the W7 operating system on disk. I encountered
this problem with my WinXP when my computer decided it was not going to
boot after being turned off. After about 15 to 20 tries - it did start,
and once loaded, I did not turn it off until I took steps.
The steps to take - and they apply to both W7 and WinXP - is to obtain a
backup hard drive and a copy of Norton Ghost or Acronis Tru-Image
Cloning software.
Back up all your data files, then run the software to clone your hard
drive and operating system - W7 or WinXP - on the new backup drive. This
will give you a full backup copy of your operating systems as well as
your files and programs. You can store this or run it again to keep it
up to date with your system in your computer.
In my case, I had a drive that was going bad. I was fortunate to get it
cloned before full failure - else I would have lost my operating system
- as I had no OEM installation disk - and I could have lost all my data
as well as the installed programs on the hard drive. So having a full
backup of the OS and data is important.Then if your HD dies, all you
need do is swap the backup drive into the computer, boot it up, and you
are good to go.
This is important. If you have not done this - please do so. My computer
is not a toy - and the data I have on it represents years of work and
holds massive collections of data wor th a lot of money. I don't even
buy hard drives anymore unless they are at least one terra-byte - and
preferably larger.
While may prefer to have book type HD's for back up - The added cost of
getting them in that form became a bit tedious, so I bought a harness
for $14.95 that allows me to hook up any HD as an external USB drive. I
no longer fool with the added cost of drives mounted in the "Book" type
case. I put a tab with a number on each drive, then place the drive on
it's side on a shelf above my computer. I have six drives in a row
sitting there and I just pull which ever one I need for the moment and
plug it in. I don't need all the drives plugged in and spooled up at the
same time. Works for me.

Or create a backup disk, as recommended by MS.
