Compatibility with Vista
I have a friend whom I helped to upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit - he has a Dell machine and we used the Dell upgrade offer to perform the upgrade. Apart from the instructions being a little bit sparse this went OK and his Win 7 system seems to be working fine.
However one thing really puzzled us. He uses Nikon's PictureProject since he likes the way it allows him to create logical folders for his photos. The problem is that although this app worked absolutely fine on Vista (and XP Home Edition prior to that), it fails to start up on Win 7. I've tried compatibility mode in Win 7 (both Vista SP2 and XP) but neither change the situation at all. Now Nikon say the app is not supported on Win 7 (since they claim it is replaced by another app, which does not provide identical function - this statement appeared on Oct 19th), so there is unlikely to be any support form Nikon. However I'm still interested in why the app should fail to start on Win 7 when it worked on Vista?
We're not talking about connecting to a camera or scanner - just viewing and organising JPEG photos. Does anyone have any thoughts on why it is not working, and what I could try to see if it can be persuaded to spring into life?
