How do I know if all my software and hardware are compatible with Windows 7?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Please post software and hardware that you experienced problems with under windows 7. But do follow these guidelines please:
1. Please provide full version information! Most important rule. Software should also include build version if available.
2. Software that runs without any problems under XP Compatibility mode shouldn't be listed. This so that we keep this list to a manageable size. Of course, if under XP Compatibility mode the software loads but still has problems, do include it.
3. Please, make it clear if the problem is during install, or while running. Do try to provide some information as to what happens, if you can.
4. Software and Hardware clearly labelled by the vendor as not compatible with Windows 7 should not be listed.
Hopefully we can get a pretty accurate list of software having problems under Windows 7. More importantly, some problems that we may be experiencing may find a solution in the comments of other users who found a solution or were otherwise able to circumvent the problem.
To find the software compatibility, when you download the software, there you can find the compatibility. If there is software in your computer then search in Google. To search in Google, you just go www.google.com and type tour software name and version and type the compatibility of the software. Then you can find the software compatibility. If you have original software CD then all the compatibility is written on your CD.
To find Hardware compatibility you have to follow the same. You can ask us the entire question you have and we will provide you the answer.
