I'm Soon going through our software rack and getting out all the old software the school still uses and see what runs on windows 7 and what doesn’t, This way I can let the departments know before we upgrade.
Can we all make a list here of the odd little programs which work and don’t work for all to see !!
Many Thanks :cool:

The old versions of numbershark and wordshark don't run. You need the latest release.
Install Med-V, then no probs. Although compatibility mode gives you the same, with that most should work.
I have been told that sims FMS doesn't either.
are you all talking about 64bit windows 7 i assume?
Kar2ouche
Wordshark 3
Communicate in Print 2
Collins Virtual History, Geography, Experiments, World, French
Interactive Teaching Resources
Maths Base 1 & 2
The Above All Works fine with no fiddling about!

textease 5.98 /6.5

@sted
info for the smartboard...i had this issue with the mandatory profiles.......i went to the location right click, propeties, secuirty then for that file gave everyone full control.........bit drastic but it works for me :)
Hi all - sadly, this is the case. The old DOS original Numbershark and Wordshark (inc 2L) are 10-20 years old and don't manage Win7. Wordshark3 and 4, Numbershark 3 and 4 work on most 32 bit Win7 machines. If you have a 64 bit machine you need our release 4.06 or later. Microsoft PC Operating systemsQuote:

Again Word Shark and Number Shark will only work if it's version 4.06.
I'm having a tough time getting Test Base 32 / Exam Wizard 32 to work on win7 x64... currently using MS ACT 5.6 to get it to compat but I get in a loop.... "Use 32-bit version if running the 64-bit" and "Use 64-bit version if running the 32-bit". and it goes around and around :L any pointers?
if you create an msi for it on x86 xp it works fine its just the installer thats 16 bitQuote:

If you're doing that bare in mind that all the exampro/examwizard/testbast stuff keeps it's licensing information in the same file.Quote:

Good luck, when I done my testing I had 2 machines side by side, one I was testing the software and the other one was building the Image. One lesson learnt after having to start the base image again because an application killed the installation.Quote:

I found that. I keep a copy of a full exampro32.ini file in MyDocs, and manually copy the contents of that back into the recently-installed one. Not pretty, but it works.Quote:
