Hello

We are migrating our computers to Windows 7.

I have previously run a few simple BlackBox test programs, and not seen any problems.

Today we ran a real application for the first time, and are swamped by hundreds of low-level TRAP windows
(the ones without clickable links) complaining of illegal memory accesses. This happens every time. The
application is about 10 years old, and has always been stable. It is not particularly memory or CPU greedy.
I don't think it does any risky 'low-level' things, but it will possibly have some WinApi calls.

The entire BlackBox directory is an exact copy of one that runs reliably on XP machines.


Have other people had similar problems? Is there something like a Windows 7 'compatibility' mode I should
know about?


Regards

Robert
