MA3 beta and Windows 7

Just for your information: I downloaded and tried the public beta 1 of Windows 7 on a test system: Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, dual monitor configuration. The OS works without problems but MA3 beta 8b doesn't work: after initial logo, both monitors come black and I have to press Esc to exit.

At the present time, I think that Jim needs to know that, like he needs a hole in the head!

Yes, of course. But in the near future, when the new Windows will be released it could be a problem. Today prevention could be better then tomorrow cure

Funny, I think the information is useful, even if Jim can't really do anything about it right now.

I think for now I'll just call this "Microsoft's problem".

Smile Marine Aquarium 3 Beta WORKS on my Windows 7.

I don't wish to step on any toes, but I upgraded my New Touchsmart IQ816 Touchscreen to Windows 7 when I heard someone at the CES say it was "Tailor Made" for Touchscreens?

Jims Saver works perfect on my Windows 7 System.

If you buy the Aquarium, you can use it on all the computers you own.

Are you sure that you have DirectX9 installed? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Vista/Windows 7 only install DirectX10 by default, and 10 is NOT backward compatible with 9. (e.g: Having X10 does NOT mean you can run X9 programs; you actually have to have both X9 AND X10 installed!)

If the logo is displayed, then DirectX and the whole 3D system are working. Must be something else.
