  I have a window 7 but a version 6.1 program does not run in it. He says it's incompatible with the program. What can I do to make the program work?

  Hi Tony,.

  For you help I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

  What program are you trying to install?

  I suggest you to install the program in compatibility mode and check.

  Make older programs in this version of Windows

  Most of the programs created for earlier versions of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try to change the program compatibility settings, by using the program compatibility problems or manually choose compatibility settings.

• Installation of an older program (Mathcad 6) on windows 7

  I am trying to install an older version of Mathcad (version 6) on windows 7 Home premium.  The program was very well under XP (SP3).

  The compatibility tools fail.  The program will not install and I get an error message on the incompatibility of a 32-bit program running in a 64-bit environment.

  Any thoughts?  Upgrade to Win 7 pro and installing 'XP mode' will do the trick?

  Thanks for any help

  Mike o'neill

  Success!

  Although I couldn't get Mathcad 6 to install in the usual way, I had to run using an old method (that didn't work).

  Basically, I installed it on a machine running XP (I used XPsp3), then copied the entire repertoire of Mathcad 6 (default is WINMCAD) on the Windows XP machine.  After a bit of spot test last night, I can tell you that it can create, modify, open, save, and print files, which is all I really need.  Interestingly, the program also runs the USB that I used to do the transfer.

  Sometimes, take you a break.

• Microsoft Image Composer can run on Windows 7?

  I installed Microsoft Image Composer apparently successfully on a Windows 7 computer. However, when tries it to open it, the error message is server.dll is not loaded. However, I can see this file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Image Composer. Is there any solution for this?

  If it is an older product there is not much chance of the same race in W7. What version of W7 you use? Whether it is professional or ultimate edition, you can use the Windows XP Mode and use the Microsoft Image Composer.

• What startup programs can I on Windows 7?

  How to choose the programs I want to start?

  First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.
   
  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
   
  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
  you run, but * that *. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.
   
  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
   
  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• I can run vista windows on an external hard drive?

  Hi I was wondering if I could run windows vista Home premium (64 bit) on an external hard drive...

  and how would I do it?

  I was reading around and found some info that said that I need to start from the main internal drive, but I think that my internal drive has some errors and im not sure how long it will last... Although I did have too much problems with it since my last restore full on a month and half ago.

  any suggestions or steps I must take to be able to do this?

  I don't think that this is possible. It is possible to install/boot from a HDD external bootable with some revisions minor http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/15/how-to-install-windows-7-or-vista-from-bootable-portable-usb-flash-memory-key-or-hard-disk-drive/ (assuming that your BIOS supports this)-say if your CD/DVD has not, recovery or reinstallation, but it is not the same as Vista from the external HARD drive.  I think the biggest problem is the drivers who won't be loaded until the Windows startup and Windows could not start without the USB already loaded if it was located on an external USB drive (and the other drivers as well) and there may be some problems with the boot files.  There may be other issues - I think XP and Vista are INTENTIONALLLY DESIGNED to work this way (for reasons of piracy among others)...

  I read a post from Carey Frisch MVP, who says flatly that it cannot be done.  Here is an article on the topic which also categorically states that it cannot be done with XP or Vista http://computer-drives-storage.suite101.com/article.cfm/can_you_boot_from_external_hard_disk_drive.

  I read a few articles that say it's possible with XP using the appropriate BIOS and a whole bunch of changes in the registry (changes that have not been identified), but I frantly in doubt.  Too many other articles argue against it.  In addition, it would be MUCH slower (no matter how fast the hard disk) due to the method of connection - you do not use this way on a daily basis.

  Many of the dismantled external when hard drives are compaatible with and will fit inside the computer case and work as internal drives - maybe you can try that as an alternative (assuming that you do not want to buy another drive HARD internal for now).

  To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.  You can also run chkdsk /f /r from the elevated command prompt and see what happens - happens to you lots of bad sectors and a lot of corruption, then it is time to replace the drive before it will totally fail...

  I hope this helps (although it is probably not the answer you were hoping for).

  Good luck!

• Adobe Illustrator CS5 can run on Windows 10 laptop

  I want to buy Adobe Illustrator CS5. I have question in mind if it will work on Windows 10 or not?

  You can only buy it used (which is dangerous due to fraud)

  Illustrator CS5 is 32-bit and Windows 10 is a 64-bit OS, unstable kind of compatibility (as appropriate).

  Illustrator CS5 is not officially supported on Windows 10 and there are not too many people in this forum has been to get it to run, so you're basically on the search of your own stuff.

• cs6 can run on windows 8.1

  I need to replace my old computer running Vista, but I need to choose an operating system that will run my 6 Design Standard Creative Suite and Dreamweaver CS6. The latest version mentioned by Adobe is Windows 8. The computer, I'm looking to buy offer 8.1. Should I get Windows 7 to run the software?

  My alternative seems to be run on a separate computer, ugh.

  Adobe will not certify that it is running in the new OS, that of why you can only buy them by phone and only if you have W7 or earlier.

  However, it should work well in 8.1 or 10 and the fact that a certain number of people here in the forum.
