  • Card readers

    Windows 7 is reporting that my card reader unit is slowing down the process of coming out of sleep. I assume that it includes hibernation because I never use the sleep function. The 9 in 1 card reader is running on generic drivers, but it looks like they all do. I haven’t seen a packaged card reader...

  • LG cellphone software - an update

    Good news finally. It is now possible to download and install the LG support software and PC Suite onto a machine running Windows 7 64-bit. Not only does it download, it even installs and works after installation. Maybe my email to LG woke somebody up to the fact that 64-bit operating systems are becoming...

  • Game compatibility

    I dug out an old game of mine having noticed that the Windows 7 Compatibility Centre claims that it is Win 7 64-bit compatible. The game in question is Microsoft Train Simulator v.1. Yes, it installed in compatibility mode, and it started without any corruption of the initialization screens. It ran very...

  • Printer compatibility with Windows 7

    Many older printers may only have basic driver support, in which case you will lose maintenance utilities which show ink levels etc. Also, 64-bit support may be thin on the ground, and printers without 64-bit support will not work if connected direct or through a network to your new 64-bit operating...

  • The search for drivers..

    I watched a video of a Windows House Party. The organisers put on a great show, and I was impressed, especially with the six year old PC which is running Windows 7 well, presumably the 32-bit variant. I have a six year old Intel G845WN. Lets take a look at what I would have to do to get a usable Windows...

  • Windows 7 – In the forums - Part 2

    Upgraders to Windows 7 are not all having an easy time of it. Why? Some seem to be under the belief that upgrading to Windows 7 will make a Vista computer work better. It can, but.. There is a mistaken belief that Windows 7 is more compatible than Vista. Well, there is some truth in the statement, but...

  • Windows 7 – My first compatibility problem..

    .. and maybe to be expected. I use FrontPage 2003 to create and manage my own website because Expression Web 2 is simply too difficult for me. For the most part, FrontPage works very well in Windows 7, but I have found that the files contained in an FP web folder will not keep the association with FP...

  • Vista 64 drivers..

    Whenever I have mentioned anything about installing a 64bit OS and compatibility, some have been very quick to say “no compatibility problems here’ What they actually mean is that all motherboard devices are detected. In some cases, drivers for peripheral devices are available, especially if the devices...
