====== Windows 7 compatibility, continued ====== Hi All, As you may know, there have been a [[http://www.bundysoft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1487|few problems]] with running L3DT on Windows 7 using the Aero theme. I am pleased, and quite relieved, to announce that these problems should now be fixed in the latest developmental build of L3DT (v2.8 build 23), for systems with up-to-date graphics drivers. I have verified this build renders properly in Aero themes on Windows 7 Professional, using an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT graphics card with driver version 8.17.11.9745. The updated installers, in //Standard//, //Professional// and //Pro for Torque// are available from the [[bundydocs>l3dt:faq:licensing#how_can_i_download_updates|usual places]]. ===== If problems persist... ===== If you find Windows is still resetting your graphics driver when running this build of L3DT, or the display freezes and then the system reboots, I **strongly recommend** you update the drivers for your graphics adapter. If updating your drivers does not fix the problem, please file a bug report in [[http://www.bundysoft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1487|this forum thread]]. When reporting this bug, //please//, remember to quote the type of graphics card you have, as well as the driver version. If you're not sure how to get this information, you should open the Windows [[wp>Device_Manager|Device manager]], expand the //display adapters// tree node, right-click on the sub-item listed under //display adapters//, select the //properties// menu option, and then click on the //drivers// tab. This should result in a window looking something like this:

The relevant information to quote in your bug report are the adapter type (see window title), the driver version, and the driver date. Best regards, Aaron. {{tag>Windows_7 bugs}}
