Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with XP mode


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have ordered a new Laptop and have finally worked up enough bravery to step out of my windows XP pro comfort zone.

The new PC will have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. It also has a so called XP mode that supposedly allows you to run programs as if your machine was a 32 bit XP animal.

I was hoping to hear success stories from other's that have the same OS and running Visilogic without issues. Is everyone already running on the platform without issue, or should I brace myself for heartache and agravation?

Damian,

Good on ya for moving up to Windows 7! It's really a great operating system (Vista was a disaster!!)

There is only one thing in Windows 7 that causes MANY programs MANY issues and that is User Account Control (Commonly known as UAC)

The best idea once you get your laptop is to disable UAC in the Control Panel (Its under "Users"). Then it will be smooth sailing with VisiLogic from there :(

Hi Ash,

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely take you up on your advise. Does that mean also that I don't need to worry about running it in XP mode?

Thanks,

Damian
