Win 7 64bit: Comments or advice anyone?
861388
Have tried it with two programs so far. One is Musicmatch 7.5, my favorite CD software that rips and burn CD's as well as recording live audio streams (using the system mixer as the source.) This program is incompatible with XP, so I bought XP pro hoping to run this program and a few others. Unfortunately, the audio is awful in XP mode so there is tons of crackling when an audio file is played or when trying to listen to an audio stream. My "tech" support friend told me that this is a limitation of the audio drivers that are used when one is in Windows 7's XP mode. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I also tried Paperport 9 in XP mode. I can manipulate and edit my files in that mode (as well as in Windows 7), but the virtual printer drivers will not install either in 7 or in XP mode so I am unable to do screen captures or to make virtual copies or PDF copies of my documents and/or create screenshots. Bummer! In summation, XP mode really didn't work out very well for me in the end, and it may not do as much for you as you hope! Do some Google searching for the programs you have in mind and see if you can find any information about each one. You may be luckier than I. Good luck!

I have windows 7 64 bit I have problems with it staying going and it cuts off when it should not. I contacted customer support and got put off after the third contact I never heard back. Spend a little more and get something reliable..

Yes. I installed it on 64 bit. If I remember correctly there was something special I had to do like "run as administrator", but yes it worked.

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

It did not work for me at all... Win 7 32 bit, Win 7 64 bit, or Win 8.... Keep looking...

Nope, no problems--running Win 7 ultimate and also Win 7 pro and all runs smoothly as advertised. Try clean install. Good luck

I do not have any problems with my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. It has been in use for over two years.

I am using Windows 7, Vista has a terrible reputation and would suspect that that is the problem. My advice is to dump Vista.

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

They say it isn't. But it runs fine if changed in compatibility mode. Quick and efficient fix. (Windows 7 64 bit)

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. So it should. The best thing would be to to write to their support, just to be on the safe side.
