Microsoft World Viewer works great.

Allows you to view microsoft office documents without having microsoft office installed. It's free.

Can anyone confirm if Advanced Systemcare free 3.2 works on Windows 7 x64?. Im hearing very positive reviews about this program.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned this little gem, seems to play everything right out of the box, not like a certain MCE I could mention!

BTW - Anyone know what the "C" in "VLC" stands for?

You can get hold of VLC here

Are you using x64?

When I try to use it in Windows 7 Build 7000 x64 I get a message that says it's not compatible with Aero and it shuts Aero off. I'm also having problems playing .mkv files with it.

Do you have any suggestions, am I doing something wrong?

Works perfectly. I use it unadultered with the defaults.

Maybe not appropriate to this thread? All these programs are for Vista, but of the many I have tried they all work without problems in 7. I select the ones with a few stars after the name!

it very good. Thanks a lot.

Hello Bob, and welcome to Seven Forums.

See if using Compatibility Mode on the program's shortcut with Vista (SP1) selected may allow it to run properly afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Secunia's Personal Software Inspector works with Win7 Beta. It's a good app to have, as it lets you know which programs are outdated or have vulnerabilities.

Jacee,
Thanks, a nice program. It found some old software from an old windows installation.

You should add Virtual CloneDrive for mounting .iso's and such. It works fine in Windows 7

SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive

Hello everyone.

I'm running W7 7057 64 bit.

I just skimmed this thread and see no mention of Rivatuner or EVGA Precision.

Does anyone know whether these will work?.

I tried GPU-Z yesterday and it didn't seem to want to install so I chickened out but I noticed it's on the list.

Also are people sure Core Temp works with 64 bit.
I don't want to screw things up.

On the whole I think W7 is fantastic and 7057 is snappier than 7000.
Looking forward to the Release Candidate.

Thanks, John

I run both on build 7048....

GPU-z is not an *installable* program - it runs directly as is - and I have used builds 29-32 (current) without a hitch on my Windows 7 builds, and am using it right now with build 7048.

As for CoreTemp - yes, again - I use it a lot when I am testing OCs other than my currently stable OC....
