Painter IX..5 and Windows 7

#1

Anyone running Painter IX.5 or X on Windows 7. I read that someone was running IX.5 on windows 7 with no problems. Any one else running it?.

I’m running Painter IX.5 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The only problem I’ve had is that the ring cursor from Win 7’s tablet PC services gets in the way. Here’s a post about how to turn it off.

I’ve been trying to run it under Windows 7 64 Home Premium. I bought a new Dell Studio XPS (Intel i7, 8g ram nvidia Geforce GTS 240) and installed Painter 9.5 and it will only run about 5-10 minutes before I get a box telling me the program has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution. It never finds one and ends up closing the program. Very frustrating.

I’ve tried running it in Windows 98, XP SP2, XP SP3 and Vista 64 compatibility modes and as Administrator with no improvement.

If anyone can offer any help I’d appreciate it. I like version 9.5 and would like to stay with it until Painter 11 can get it’s act together as far as memory/resources usage, which last I heard was between 80% and 95%.

I’m running PIX.5 on Win7 Ultimate RC build 7100 (AMD X3 720, Asus mobo, 8GB ram and ATi Radeon 4600 series gcard)

Painter IX.5 runs though it has some issues:

[ul]
[li]draggin palettes from one position to another within the layout is not fluid[/li][li]about 50% of the times I open a file, when I maximize the window to fit the entire workspace, it doesn’t really miximize it but fills the area with white. It’s not possible to drag the image anywhere and a restart of the application is a must to be able to work.[/li][li]sometimes it crashes, not sure why.[/li][li]the registration screen popup keeps appearing every now and then when starting Painter. This is solved by pressing the “later” button[/li][/ul]Other than that, it works fine.
Painter 11 was a lot worse on my Win7, so I’m sticking with IX.5
