We had no problems running Allegro 16.2 on 64 bit Vista, and no problems running 16.3 and 16.5 on 64 bit win7.Win7 is also considerably better at running older, xp-rated software than Vista was.
Be aware that some users reported issues with infinite cursor, which was tied to the new Aero interface introduced in Vista. soulution is applying *set infinite_cursor_bug_nt* and infinite cursor works as expected (to my knowledge this fix works on 16.2 and upwards) best regards, Matija On 22.3.2012 23:47, Dharma Kemp-Bresett wrote:
Hi Everyone, We are looking to purchase a new computer to run allegro 16.3 on. The new machines are all windows 7 now.... I did some looking around on various forums and several people were having problems getting it to work on Win 7 64 bit machines. Most stated they had no problems with 32bit but either had to run a virtual machine to get it working or couldn't get it to run at all on 64 bit. I did not find follow up info suggesting if it was no longer an issue or if they found other good solutions. So in a nutshell my question is: are people still having these problems or do the newer sr's fix this? We would obviously prefer 64bit but if it is going to pose any major problems with setup then it may be best to just go with 32 bit.
