Is there a copy of Windows XP's calculator that can replace Windows 7's calculator?

I really don't like the new split formats of the calculator. On XP's I can use HEX as well as do actual math without having to switch between them. On Windows 7's, well, I can't. For my needs, windows XP's is far superior functionally than 7's. It's good to be able to do math and hex calculations without constantly swapping back and forth.

I've tried a few freeware calculators in the past but none were as easy or designed as nicely as XP's was.

Hi! I had same issue than you.
Search for "Microsoft calculator plus" on google.

ohhhh yeaaaa

Just copy calc.exe from an XP system (\Windows\system32 directory). It runs fine under Win 7 32 or 64 bit.

kewl

Yup, that works, but why? The new one has actually more options than the old one.
But not being a mathematician, if it adds and subtracts, multiplies and divides, it works for me.
I keep a shortcut to Calc in my Task Bar.

However, I can't stand what they did to my old friend Sol.exe. Screwed it up beyond belief.

So I just copied sol.exe and cards.dll from Windows XP and plunked them down in my root directory, made a shortcut to sol.exe on my desktop, and now I can play my old favorite Solitaire just like I did when I was running XP.
