John, I've been running Win7 64-bit since Christmas and I am one happy
camper. The only software that absolutely would not work was Kerio 2.1.5,
but I suspect it would be fine on a 32-bit system. Other than that, Comodo
FW simply didn't play nicely with others; Win7 has the unique "black screen"
(as opposed to blue) and I had some freezing problems, but that stopped as
soon as I switched to PC Tools Firewall Plus.

Forget about old 16-bit games like Tetris. Somebody feel free to jump in
and correct me, but I think they're DOA. Again, it *could* be because I'm
running a 64-bit OS. Everything else runs absolutely flawlessly. Win7 has
a Compatibility Mode that works very well. Except for Kerio (and Tetris), I
didn't have to give up a single app.

OK.... methinks you can install Windows XP mode

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

and run 16-bit games inside that, which is 32 bit XP.

Some of the buggers that accessed hardware direct probably won't.

Oldfart, eh? Yes, I saw that website while Googling for the home page.
Unfortunately, it says, "We don't have a home url yet, but you can find
it using Google" and there's no download link for the program.

Regarding cab viewers though, maybe older versions of Cabview (MS's
version) won't open newer cab files. I've noticed that IZArc won't
always open cab files, but sometimes it will.

John Corliss BS206. I block all Google Groups posts due to Googlespam,
and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.)
as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.
