upgrading

Greg...I don't have those programs, so I don't know...but I'd say (general advice) check out the Upgrade Advisor

from Microsoft. Could save some pain, bud.

I have and will but was more wondering about the wc programs and skinning in general. see lots of issues cropping up but not across the board and figure most of those to be unique (operator error).

DX and ODPlus from my experience, have problems with 64 bit Win7,not sure if these are present in 64 bit Vista as I'm 32 bit there.(OD+ is) but they are minor. Performance meter plug-ins  are inaccurate and some clocks don't run in DX,Start Menu Launcher and systray in OD+ are inop.

 Not dealbreakers by any means but I'd like to see them working on my version of Seven. Otherwise most everything else in ODNT works great on both OS's.

well i just upgraded to win7 ultimate on my 64bit pc and have installed all my stardock stuff and paint shop pro and adobe and so far works a treat  

good info and your experiences are very helpful. I'm getting a better feeling about upgrading now.

note to self: remember to back-up

back-up? i never bother coz in the past with xp and vista i backed up and when i needed to use it to re-install it didnt work. so now i just use handy recovery, scoures the hdd for everything  lol

back up of personal files, family pictures, financial records, etc, that kind of thing.

upgrade advisor suggestions suck, lost my dvd drive with uninstalling the programs they suggested and had to use a restore point to get it back. funny.

I upgraded from Vista Ultimate to Win7 Ultimate, and also upgraded from cs3 to cs4, and have no problems at all, so you should do the upgrade, totally worth it!

have done and so far so good, thanks
