I might be stirring up a hornets nest with this question. However I am curious as to the number of Application's that do not work under Windows 7 64-Bit.

If you know of an Application that you could not run under Windows 7, please list it below.

If someone knows for sure that the Application listed works, we can split the known Application to a thread of its own to help those that are having troubles.

Please do not list Adobe Flash plugin.
We all know this is a known issue and Adobe Flash plugin works just fine with the 32-Bit browser versions in Windows 7 64-Bit.

Hi Veedaz.
I had not heard of the proggy. I noticed it did not list Windows 7 as a possibility. I have just downloaded it and selected Vista compatibility mode and the "run as Administrator" option. Installed and ran 100% in 64Bit.

The only program I could not get installed in Win7 64 bit was CD Stomper Pro Version 3.x

I also had issues with my scanner Cannon Lide35 but was able to use the Lide60 drivers. The only part that does not work is the scanners "Quick Scan" buttons but I never used them anyway.

Applications written in Visual Basic 3.0 (I know it's a bit old, but lots of applications have been written in VB 3.0, which used to run perfectly, even in windows 7 32-bits but not on 64-bits!

Hi, I am running Window 7 Home Premium 64bit--installed as an uprgrade
from Vista.

I can not get" Photo Story 3" for Windows to work. The XP download will
install and start, but will hang up and I have to clear with a hard reboot.
I have tried all the compatability modes--xp-vista-etc., also running as
Administrator--can't get anything to work.??

Hello, Have the same OS and upgrade.
Installed Photo Story 3, ran and used without problem.
Have read several post in different newsgroups with your problem.
So far have not come across a solution.
Have you tried running in compatibility mode?
