FREE Great Programs for Windows 7

[NoN]

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.

Thanks Brink i'll do that...i'm checking either a kind of pluging dedicated to gimp that looks suspect, 'cause it has gone wrong since.

No problem NoN. Please let us know what you find.

Pasty by MilesAhead

Pasty by MilesAhead

Pasty out of the box pastes selected text into Windows Search. But you can set the hotkey to open another search engine. The hotkey for Pasty itself is also adjustable.

Recommended usage: start with Windows and let it sit in the Task Tray. Highlight text in an editor or web browser, then hit the Pasty hotkey. The search engine will open and the text will be entered via macro action.

You can download from this page:
Hotkeys

Just scroll down a bit until you see the Pasty link.

I've tried it on Vista64 and Windows7 32 bit.

btw the About dialog shows the current hotkey for both Pasty and the external search in case you forget what you set it to.


Edit: For those who prefer to download from well known sites, the
latest version of Pasty(v. 1.2) is now on Softpedia:

Is CCleaner up there? It works well for me.

"How come we don't know the I.Q. of the guy who invented the test?"

Good question...

Hi, I've installed back the Gimp 2.6.6 and looks it does work without closing the programm at each start.

The pluging that have mess around is LQR aka "Liquid Rescale":

"gimp-lqr-plugin_0.6.1-liblqr_0.4.1_win32.exe"

For those that might want to install this one , don't at the moment (or maybe do & tell).

I'll quote later this post, to give the info about lqr pluging...

Here it is:

After just finishing going thru 36 pages making sure it wasn't on list and not seeing it. (hopefully I didn't miss it)

I have used the paid version of Winzip and have used WinRar and 7-Zip.

ExtractNow allows me to accsess all of the above formats with just one application.

I just got done re-installing it now myself, so I figured I would post it.

Sorry if it was already mentioned, 36 pages is a lot to go thru!

BTW : I am running Windows 7 x64 and it works fine on it.

There is a nice search within thread tool at the top of the thread pages below the thread page numbering. Handy for this sort of stuff.

Hello Akramh,

Thank you,

Not sure if this is completely appropriate, but Windows 7 runs fine under VMWare Fusion 2.0 on my Blackbook OSX 10.5.7. In case anyone is considering trying as well. Running as a 2nd virtual O/S along with WinXP.

 

[Brink]

Hello Ndyvidual, and welcome to Seven Forums.

That's great to hear, but since you can only evaluate VMWare Fusion for a limited time and it is not free, it cannot be added to the list.

 

[swarfega]

It cant be used by us Windows users either.

Google Earth works fine too.

Google earth may work good in Win7 but I had trouble with Win7 /64 and the latest 186.18 whql and the beta 190 point something or other.
