My machine software XP does work on WIndows 7?

Our Church is to get new machines. We have Quickbooks software and office XP.  Can I install XP on 7 and get updates online, or do we have to buy all new software? Thank you.

    Hello Jimmie Jr.,

    The problem is that the software or programs that have been created for the previous operating systems such as Windows 95/98/XP have no way to correctly work with an operating system like Windows 7 that did not exist when the programs were written. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been written on a different kernel of Windows 95 and Windows XP. However, you can try compatibility mode and if this does not work you can try using a virtual machine to run the software. Much of the time the software publisher will publish updates to make old software work with newer operating systems.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

    1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps you understand better.

  • auto blog software has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem not closed Windows program and you contact if a Solution is available. __

    I can't get my autoblogging software to run on Vista. I know it works with vista, because other users have on their machines. The developer also said it works on vista very well.

    For some reason, it does not work on my machine. I installed 2 different versions of the software and both give me error in the title of this thread immediately. He doesn't have the ability to load up and fail or anything he just lift the error immediately.

    for purposes of test and restore my sanity a little I have installed this software on an old laptop running XP and a desktop running xp, after installing the software I opened the first time and on the laptop, I got this same error, however XP let him program continues to work and he opened and held its positions. The Office opened and ran without error.

    So my question is why this software is triggering this error when I open it up on top of my vista machine, and how can I work around this problem or solve the problem, so I can use my software.

    The error indicates that microsoft will let me know when a solution is available, but that never happens.

    Any light you can throw on that would be great.

    Try to run the software in Compatibility Mode: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75909-compatibility-mode.html to see if that helps.

    What is the EXACT error message (Word for Word)?  What version of Vista you are using?  What is the name and version of the software (and the Web site if you have one)?

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps. Please include answers and results in your response if it does not work.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    I can't rotate Mathcad 11 under Windows 7. I tried to change the compatibility mode for XP and Vista, but it still doesn't work. I tried to contact the company, but impossible to pass through. Anyone who can help me?

    -J' really hope that I don't need to install Vista also...

    Hello AntonSP,

    According to the Compatibility Center , they are working with software developers to confirm the compatibility of Version 14 with Windows 7.  For more information on an earlier version only they will be able to provide you with this information.

    Given that the Compatibility Mode works not the only other option you have would be XP Mode if you are running Windows 7 Professional or higher and your hardware can support virtualization.  Might try to launch the other virtual machine software with a version of Windows that you know works with the software.

  • Reference software does not work under Windows 7

    Reference 9, a bibliographic database program, does not work under Windows 7.  It worked fine under XP.  Support of reference people were a great help and I'm stuck with the program so far.  The program opens and can be saved, but when you do a search, the first research work, but a second search will generate a message 'quote has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to sop work correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "Then you must click on the" close program"button to close the program and then re - start.

    Are you sure that all the prerequisites for the program have been installed (like the .net Framework or VC ++ runtime libraries)?

    In addition, is the version of the reference program tested by the people of tech reference that same as you use?

    Please make sure the version of the program made for Windows 7 is available, and if yes, you can use this version of Windows 7.

    A work around:

    If the program fails to work, even if all prerequisites have been installed, you can try to install the software in Windows XP Mode (not recommended, but we can not miss this in the case of legacy programs). You can take a look at the following links:

  • Solution Center does not work under Windows 7 with Officejet Pro L7780

    Downloaded the latest version of the software for Windows 7 and the first issue was when you try to do an installation complete you get a fatal error at the 96 percent mark when she did the configuration. I looked on the web and found a lot of posts on the same problem. Then, I just uninstalled and made a gradual installation.

    Main printer DRIVER installed first. Then did the functions of imaging followed by the solution Center device.

    Installed everything, but when you run the solution center it says it can't open because incomplete installation.

    The printer works from Windows 7.

    I have an XP machine and Solution Center working on it.

    Any suggestions anyone.

    This thread has resolved the problem installing the software that supports the HP Officejet Pro l7780 for use on Windows 7.

    The event viewer showed mistakes that network location for %APPDATA%\protector.exe is not found.

    Even if I couldn't run the original installation of solutioncenter.msi to work without errors in the log file, without making any changes, which has not completely solved the problem.

    Since solutioncenter, initially did not work, I decided to run solutioncenter.msi manually and look at the log file. See errors in the log file we made changes to the database with Orca solutioncenter.msi. It took us on a long road that does not initially sense that HP would put something out there that produced errors in the msi log file.

    I don't know how the setup.exe uses solutioncenter.msi?

    The changes that doesn't seem it to matter when you run the setup.exe file that is provided in the download.

    If I used the modified solutioncenter.msi or version orginal of it as downloaded from HP running setup.exe site had no importance regarding obtaining solutioncenter work in windows 7, canceled only changes in the solutioncenter log file errors.

    I had to make the following changes to the environment variables to get the full package to work, but what is strange is that I could replace the changeed solutioncenter.msi or the original solutioncenter.msi and run setup.exe, with the following environment changes didn't matter. The solution Center has worked in Windows 7 using one of the solutioncenter.exe and setup.exe.

    Apparently, setup.exe does not use the MSI directely. I think that HP responses suggested that in a previous thread.

    Add these entries (click new...) for the owner user variables and System variables:

    In the name box: APPDATA

    In the value box: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

     

    Run setup.exe and event viewer does not display % APPDATA % Scriptures and all work.

     

    Thanks for all help on this.
