Windows 7 compatibility?
« on: January 04, 2010, 11:58:47 AM »
My app I support does not work on Windows 7, I just found out last week, much to my chagrin.

I just let me developers know.

To get it to work, I had to enable Windows XP sp2 compatibility mode with it.

Now, I need to re-create the error, and I cannot figure out how to disable compatibility mode.  Anyone know?

I've found the right-click, properties, compatibility tab and I have that cleared out.

The app runs fine now... but it wasn't running fine when I first loaded Windows 7.  Frustrating.  Does anyone know where compatibility settings are stored in the registry?
