Hi there, I"m thinking of getting a windows 7 Laptop. Is there any issues running MMF on Windows 7? Also is there a major difference between 7 and XP. I love xp. One more question,.with a new laptop and having Windows 7 on it,.is there a way to install windows xp instead of having 7? Say I buy the Windows 7 Laptop and then format the drive and then install Windows XP. Would it work or should I just look for a used laptop with Windows XP already on it?
Thank you,
John
Hi TheSmanman,
I don't have any problems with Windows 7 :D
Hows the OS compared to XP? Easy to get use to?
Win 7 is excellent and no learning curve really coming from xp. Mmf runs fine. Win 7 is very stable even more so than xp.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
Yeah, it wouldn't be a very good decision at all to put XP in instead of Windows 7. Windows 7 is by far the best operating system they've ever come out with.
everything works fine on windows 7 :D
windows 95 was great for its time... but I guess i am just showing my age.Quote:

Windows 7 is a vast improvement over XP in every respect. I have 3 Win7 systems (2 desktops and 1 laptop) and even after 1 year, the speed of the system is almost the same as after initial installation. Which is not what I was used to with XP & before. Bootup is very quick, and setting up and managing networks -- one of my biggest chores with Windows before -- is very easy. MMF2 shows no compatibility issues at all. The only drawback is if you want to use your system for music authoring, as MIDI support is next to gone now and it may be hard to set up depending on your setup.
Hi all,
i install mmf2 on my windows 7
but there is error "invaled path" when i open the old files that i created.
Thanks
Do you mean it says "Invalid path" when you click File / Open and select a MFA file?
Weird... Maybe the filename contains characters MMF2 cannot recognize correctly? If so, have you tried to rename the files using simple ascii characters?
Otherwise please post a screenshot.
Im runnung Windows7 and MMFD2, no problems here.

As AdamDobay says, startup is very quick.Quote:

You can also 'pin' standard programs to the taskbar by simply dragging and dropping programs ontoo the taskbar
2 - Freequently used programms
By right clicking on a programm in the taskbar, you are presented with a set of standard opperations for that program as well as a list of freequently used files/ visited web pages for that programm

This way you can very quickly and easily access your work and current projects.
3 - Taskbar contains 'all active programms', not all active windows.
Hoovering mouse over a programm, previews 'all active windows for that program'

This makes your taskbar a lot more tidy.
4 - Window previewing ( Aero Peak )
Hoovering mouse over a preview window, will show you only that window and hide all others ( effect ends when no longer hoovering over a preview window )

This makes searching and finding the exact documents/ windows you are looking for fast and easy.
5 - A standard 'show desktop button' is placed to the right of 'time and date' in the taskbar ( 'Winows button' + 'D' still works )

I dont claim to be a Windows expert, but theese are some of the things i find different and better in Windows 7 than in previous Windows versions.
