v3.0 and v3.1 - Can I Run This on Windows 7?

Problem: I got a new computer running Windows 7. My disc says version 3.0 (or 3.1) on it. I understand it was created years before Windows 7 was invented. Can I run this version 3 disc on Windows 7?

Solution: No, not really. Microsoft wrote Windows 7 in a new code and older computer programs will not run on Windows 7. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not make Windows 7 "backwards-compatible."

Even if you download the snippet of code from our web site that does away with the need to register your software, just about all you can do on Windows 7 is look at the birds. The Birder's Handbook needs a program from Microsoft, which when downloaded and installed, seems to do nothing – no handbook. As for the other buttons – some work others don’t.

Version 3 operates very slowly on Windows 7, and is time consuming.

But you can get the latest version at a very reduced price: Click HERE for details.
