Title: pc sofware question
Post by: DALEQUAD on July 11, 2010, 04:03:05 PM
i have a software program for my quad that was designed to run with windows 98 or XP, it is not compatable with windows vista,  do you think it would be compatable with windows 7?

If you are able to run it in compatability mode (which should be available with vista), maybe?

You should have brought it up...I would probably be able to get it running again for you.

Reformat the hard drive. You will need the drivers and xp disc to do it. You may be able to run the repair function and not reformat.
