This product apparently doesn't work with Windows 7. Is there anything I can do to get Win7 to recognize it?

I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

Sorry, I don't know. The Small Wonder is now getting to be pretty old technology, so I'm not surprised at this. Perhaps a technology website, or the New York Times tech guy might answer. For my iPad Mini, I needed a 'special' charger cord to tap into car cigarette lighter socket. Even though the output socket of another little charger looked like a standard USB, the iPad is different. At a tech day at my job, managers were trying to have anyone's device link into their projector. Newest devices, iPhones wouldn't work with that slightly older technology, or the connection cords, looking standard, weren't iPhone compatible. Sorry, I don't know.

Hi. I had the same problem. A solution is posted here. Note that although windows 7 is used in the example it works in windows 8 as well. The solution works fabulously.

I'm pretty sure the software is compatable with Win 7 but you should download the demo just to be sure.

If it works with Windows Vista, you should be able to use Compatibility Mode to install the drivers on Win7.You may need to edit the driver's .inf file; if necessary you can contact me for more details. It should work fine though.~ Benjamin

on my copy of windows 7, the adapter isn't even recognized in the device manager

It has been some time since I got mine, but I believe Win 8 will do what Win 7 did; I plugged it in and the OS went searching for drivers and installed them automatically. I paid about $10 for mine. At that price, I thought it worth the gamble.

Hello I bought this several years ago when I was in the same situation. I have windows 7 and it worked fine with that computer. I would recmmend it.

Thank you. So I ordered the drive and followed instructions for installing but it is not recognized by Windows 7 and the trouble shooting guide is useless. Then I tried it on a laptop running Vista and it started installing but finally gave up saying to contact the manufacturer. This is the 3rd time I have bought an item based on information from persons who claim to own the product that turned out to be a big mistake

Hi Lawrence. I have Windows 7 and my answer is yes and no, unfortunately. It worked fine for a while, then suddenly stopped. It's a shame that very few companies make this product, and for some reason I haven't found much reliability.

I'm not entirely sure, I have windows 7, try and look to see if there a forum for its compatibility

Last I heard (couple years ago) there was no driver for Win 7. I would think someone would have come up with one by now, though. Google around for a driver before you buy.

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...

windows 7 should automatically recognize it. if it doesn't then the usb port might need to be enabled or is not working properly
