What makes our small utility compatible with Windows 8?

Hello

I'm the admin of a community site called rFactorcentral. To help support our site, we offer a service called the "1-click install" that allows users to easily install 'changes' or a simulator. This 1-click process requires a utility that was developed a few years before the release of Windows 8.

Unfortunately, it seems that this utility crashes in Windows 8, despite having tried everything. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make our usefulness to work within Windows 8.

The link to download the utility is:

http://www.rFactorcentral.com/rfactorcentral_client/rfcclientsetup.exe

This utility would also suffer an accident similar to Windows 7 64 bit if this patch was missing:

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=90548130-4468-4bbc-9673-D6ACABD5D13B

It also would crash on Windows XP or Vista if this patch was missing:

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en

Based on these patches, does anyone have an idea if a similar patch is available for Windows 8?

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. After writing this, I go now to test the client may require a subscription, if anyone is interested to test this further, please send an email to support@rfactorcentral and we can arrange a username and password for you.

Thanks in advance for anyone to help.

Kind regards

  • What type of microphone is compatible with windows Vista?

    Like Dan (above) I use a unit but Logitech appearing incompatlble with Windows Vista.

    What kind of microphone will allow me to record an audiobook?

    Sally O

    What is the model No. your current Logitech microphone?

    If the microphone is analog and uses a standard plug, then drivers for the microphone should not be necessary. It's the drivers for your sound card in your computer that must be compatible with the version of Windows you are using. If you are using a microphone connected USB so it is possible that pilots are required for the microphone too.

    P.S. I don't know that "Dan" you're talking about.

  • Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?

    I'm in a bit of a dead end.  I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.

    In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images.  My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.

    Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker?  My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.

    I'm ready to buy a new camera.  I just need something compatible.  Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.

    Can anyone help?

    If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it

    Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p

    The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.

    But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)

    You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

  • How can I make Microsoft Picture It! 7.0 compatible with Windows 7?

    I have Microsoft Picture It! 7.0 and it was excellent on XP, with the exception of a few freeze ups here and there.  Now I have windows 7 and all my data, including the resulting program transferred on it and Windows 7 recognizes that picture it! as a folder of small images and texts.  It is obviously something I can do to make it compatible, but I have to be a subscriber of Microsoft so that they to guide me through it, which is ungodly expensive.  What can I do for Microsoft Picture It! 7.0 compatible with Windows 7?

    Picture it! 7.0 works perfectly under Windows 7 32 bit (not sure about 64-bit version) with the exception of some functions such as new models.  But it should open your existing files OK.  You must install from your original disc in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (as George_222 suggested) compatibility mode.

    Open Computer
    Open your picture it! 7 installation disc
    Right click on Setup.exe
    Select the Compatibility tab
    Choose Windows XP Service Pack 2
    Ok

    Then double-click on setup.exe to install

  • What to do if the computer is not compatible with windows 7

    I have a computer that has lost the ability to use Windows XP by notice on my screen.  When I ran to the compatibiliy Windows 7 audit, the computer is not being upgraded to be compatible with windows 7.  What are my options?  I can't get a new computer.  How can I make my Windows XP operating system works?

    To repeat one of my previous questions, what was the view of your receipt of no longer being able to use Windows XP?

    And what if you can recall, happened to the computer just before you started to have this opinion?

    Normally, except in the case of substantial changes to the hardware, once Windows XP has been activated - as it was to the company - she should stay enabled.

    If the computer is connected to the company network, there may be questions to use as a stand-alone computer (which can be fixed).  In addition, there is a body of thought that holds that any used computer should have re-installed Windows.  A computer company, however, is much less likely to have "bad things" about it as previously used by an individual.

    The reason that many new computers is coming with OS CD is that Microsoft gives the leading manufacturers (the so-called "Direct OEMS") the opportunity to provide a built-in method to restore the computer to its State 'cost-of-the-factory' rather than provide the CD of the OS.  See How to restore or reinstall Microsoft Windows on a Dell computer.

    It is possible, however, that the it Department of the company that has purchased the computer completely erased from the hard drive and loaded a company custom 'image' right under Windows XP and applications that the company wanted to have on its computers.  If this is the case, you can be out of luck unless you can go back to the COMPUTER service company and ask for their help.

    Finally, it is possible that you may be able to get a set of backup from Dell disks: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/backupcd_form?c=us&l=en&s=gen&redirect=1

  • What can I do when Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller is not compatible with Windows 7?

    I have a gateway C - 140 X for a good 2 years and I find always the best of the class. The current version is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  The upgrade path should be got Windows 7 Ultimate, which, incidentally, should some sort of reduction but I understand he must make an economic profit.

    I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta .

    Report all gave his go-ahead, but one Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller by Texas Instruments Inc. device is not compatible with Windows 7. So I can't upgrade once the device is compatible.

    The obvious answer is to consult the website of the manufacturer of Texas Instruments or gateway OEM.
    The gateway OEM does not help because it has stopped supporting once he sold to MPC, which then went bankrupt while the drivers are available on the gateway site to download only for Windows Vista.
    Looking at the site of Texas Instrument is a maze leading to difficulty finding support on the device in question. I'll try to contact the support from them, but what do I do? I mean the device is able to run Vista and other Texas Instruments products are compatible but just the card reader.

    If you tell me to new contact the third party or the manufacturer's website, then I ask that you give me the link to the support or the driver.

    I tried to control the Windows 7 Compatibility Center , but it is not upward.

    I got it.

    After the upgrade from 32-bit Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit of Windows 7 Ultimate that required me to do a clean install. I prefer clean install because it is sure that everything works. Yet once I was pounded by an unmanned aircraft. In the hardware Manager, he has been shown as a mass storage controller. I forgot my card reader and more worried about trying to get the driver for the mass storage controller because it seemed important to something. Then I let down, but after a few days, I looked around the same instance in the forums which turns out be my card reader. I went back to the drivers from the website of the gateway for card reader Driver .

    I just installed the Vista driver and now it works. Everything on my computer now works with Windows 7 64 bit by going to manufacturers for devices. Broadcom Bluetooth.
    Wired and wireless from Intel.
    Mass of Intel storage.
    The rest was from Windows Update, check all out them.

    The only thing I feel crazy is that send to Onenote 2007 is not compatible with 64 bit OS and the strength to wait for the next version of Office for it to work.
