You can add Daemon Tools Lite 4.30.4 too.
The system warns about "known compatibly issues", but it works well!
I use it on 7201.

Another great app is KeyPass Password Safe. A great, easy-to-use app that lets you store all your usernames, passwords and associated machine names/URLs .etc.

The program has an excellent GUI and works perfectly in Windows 7 RC1.

iTunes seems to have dropped off the program list, or have I missed it?

Nice job though

CD/DVD/Blu Ray/ISO Burning Software

Starburn from rocket division works great on Windows 7. Free burns CD DVD and DVD double sided. Blu Ray and ISO images. Very good and fast.

hi !

Outpost firewall free works.

but you must run the *INSTALLATION* in "compability-mode for vista SP1"

it´s a VERY good firewall, see my thread, 2nd post:

Hi there, Seems the Gimp 2.6.6 is buggy on W7. I'd been forced to uninstall 'cause it won't launch and crashed.

I suspect the library brushes, gradient that install in users documents instead of programs/gimp/bin....to bring the mess when charging the gimp,
even when i do change in properties the way it search.

I haven't re-install yet but twice time was buggy, on 7100 & 7137.


sorry to quote, but took the last post to let you know it.

 

[Brink]

Hi NoN,

It seems that for Gimp to work properly in Windows 7 now, you must check Run this program as an administrator in Compatibility Mode for this program's shortcut after it is installed.

Icon Restore - is a great free program also.
