Deskscapes not working although build 7000 says ultimate.

FarCry2 Installs and works. It benchmarks lower than on my Xp setup on the same PC in DX9 mode, but gets better FPS in DX10. Thing is, it still is a little choppier than on the same rig on XP in game. All settings Ultra High 8xAA though

A more useful thread would be programs that do not work - since most do.

Does anyone have MS Money 2007 working?

I get an error trying to install (something about shared libraries).

I'm running released beta 7000, x64.

I've turned off Kaspersky, run as admin, and Vista compatible with no luck.

GalCiv2 has been a strange one on W7. Dread Lords ran fine right off the bat. Dark Avatar and Twilight wouldn't work until I went into the pref.ini and adjust the resolution to my monitor and put it into windowed mode(for dual screen setup). Otherwise just a black screen and had to kill it through Task manager.

SoundMAX HD audio drivers are a little flaky trying to get installed, but used the ones for vista 64 seemed to work as long as I used compatibility mode on the installer(coming from my Asus MoBo disc).

Asus Probe II I have yet to get working, it won't even install.

There is some overall dual screen flakiness when the BGs change, sometimes the monitor your not on won't update completely until return focus to it.

Edit: GC2:DA and TA Crash trying to load a map, but DL seems to work fine.

Edit, Edit: I forgot to mention this is all on 64bit, cause frankly why the hell would anyone not use 64 .

on Jan 14, 2009

I can't seem to get GC2:TA running (and it's the only GC I wanna play at this point )

I figure it's not SD's fault I'm beta testing a new OS, and I'm going back to playing Xcom for a while...

Not me. I'm not brave enough to risk running a BETA OS (specially not a microsoft one) with my main OS drive connected.

Stardock Central works [x86]

ZtreeWIN works [x86]

I can't seem to get GC2:TA running (and it's the only GC I wanna play at this point )

I figure it's not SD's fault I'm beta testing a new OS, and I'm going back to playing Xcom for a while...

 

It works perfectly for me in Windows 7 x64, so I don't know why it won't run for you. Not tried DA or DL though, I only play TA these days.

As for losing partitions, on my computer I experienced that Win 7 didn't assign a drive letter to my XP harddrive after starting up (separate drive though, not just partition), but that was easily sorted with the disk manager in the administrative tools. Multi-booting worked perfectly too; I have no problems booting XP.

I've not tried a whole lot of software yet, but so far everything I've tried that I had in XP works in Win 7, although with some odd quirks sometimes (like Impulse reporting the missing Flash.ocx or something like that)

Not Working in x64.... HP Solution Center.  Will not run as administrator or under Vista compatiblity settings.

Also CursorFX Plus installed OK but would not activate in Impulse and onboard 'activation' keeps giving an error message and closing

on Jan 16, 2009

As for me, the Vista partition seemed lost after installing W7... but not until I found out that it's still there in the Disk Management, though, without an assigned letter.

Seems like a way to prevent W7 mess with the other data.

partition when he installed 7 - anyone else lose Vista ?  

if he truely lost Vista it would probably be because he made a mistake and did not specify the partition for Win 7 and formated the entire drive. or possibly did not specify the CORRECT partition an installed it on the Vista partition over Vista thus losing it. This could be easy to do especially if the Vista partition was the entire drive. he would have to use a partition software to create a second partition for 7. When I installed 7 the entire drive was one partition (was my storage drive), if it was there I did not see options to create an additional partition/resize existing, the only option available to me was to install on that partition or delete the it and then I could create new partitions. This may be what happen and he did not notice which would have resulted in him installing 7 over Vista or deleting Vista's partition. if so, Yes he lost the Vista install.

it may though just be in the BCD file (Vista's/7 boot file). Vista and 7 not longer use the boot.ini file but rather a Boot Configuration Data file. If he did indeed install 7 on it's own second partion, 7 may have overwritten the Vista BCD thus removing Vista boot info.

if this is the case vista is still installed but he simply has no boot info/option for it due to Vista's boot info being overwritten. He may be able to edit the BCD file to add Vista boot option back in. search google for editing the BCD. it's rather simple with XP boot.ini but I have not had to edit the BCD so I don't know what is required.
