That is absolutely right. Acrobat 9 pro is not compatible with Windows 7. It could lead to some conflicts, while the download is in progress.

I'm not able to use Firefox Hello. I get a message that it is not available in versions of Firefox ESR. How can I change my version of Firefox? I'm a home user and when I click on the link update my personal version of Firefox I get a message telling me I have the latest version. So, I'm stuck. I also used to have a link to beta "Hello" when it first came out (he was working at the time). This link is now expired. Can someone help me understand how to establish access to 'Hello '?
Hello will also work where you have configured firefox to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in options > Privacy panel).

The site compatibility Windows 7 says that this OS is compatible with my Officejet G85 all-in-one old. Whenever I try to add this printer is using the automatic functions or manual installation of the driver fails and I get the error message that "print processor does not exist. I tried to install the original with the most recent compatibility software is Windows 2000, but Windows 7 does not allow indicating that the program already exists and I have to uninstall it first. However, I can't find it listed anywhere for uninstall it, and the original software disk does not have this feature either. HP does not support printer and would not help provide. This printer worked perfectly with Windows XP and we really like it is equipped. Please help us raise this printer up and running with Windows 7 64 bit home edition. I tried things I found that it was similar in the forum with no success so far.
Hello
You can run the printer troubleshooter. Convenience store solves some common printing problems.
If your computer has problems printing, try using the printer Troubleshooter to solve the problem. He made sure that a printer is connected to your computer, and it checks for common issues such as whether the printer has enough paper and toner to complete printing your document.
Open the printer Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under hardware and sound, click on use printer.
Reference:

Original title: cannot install Microsoft Entertainment pack on windows 7? Can you help me?
Have the old Microsoft Entetainment pack diskette... Bought a USB floppy drive and tried to load. Received message that the disk is not comnpatable with my Windows 7 operating system. If anyone can help?
The games were made for 16 bits and last years run natively on XP.
If you have Windows 7 Professional, you could install XP Mode and then install the games in XP Mode, the games were not heavy on graphics and should run ok.
This requires that the XP mode will recognize the floppy USB drive...

The test equipment is a Site Master S820D used for the test of microwave signals. It is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit, but is with Windows Vista 32 - bit. Want to know if there is a way to get back to Windows Vista 32-bit, without having to buy a new operating system. The program is called "Site Master Handheld Software Tools".
Hello
If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64 bit version of Windows Vista, or vice versa, you will need to back up your files, then select custom during installation of Windows Vista. Next, you need to restore your files and reinstall your programs

Hi all, I am interested in my Sony Vaio AR41L (under Vista 32 bit SP2) upgrade to Windows 7, but when I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me that, for the graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GT, the driver "installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7.
Apparently, NVIDIA is not a solution and sent people to Sony, and Sony say that they have not updated the drivers for Windows 7 and that we do not know when they expect to do...
All known and solved this problem? Any suggestions would be very helpful!
Thanks in advance.
someone noted that nVidia will come out a new batch of pilots in the coming days. (once a month)
It may be desirable to wait outside and continue with VGA Standard at the moment. Help others, tell us which solves your problem. Click useful Vote for those who help.
