Hello Robert,

test your BlackBox application on a standalone Windows 7 computer,
which is not a member of your company Domain (!!!) and was never connected
to the company network (!!!).

The best way is a clean installation of Windows 7 without network
connection.
Do not insert a Windows 7 production key - just press enter. The system will
run for 30 days.
Copy the complete (running) BlackBox directories from your XP System via
USB-Stick.
You need not install BlackBox at all, just copy the running system.

Does your application run?

If the answer is yes then then you have to follow Treutwein's advices and
you will properly have some discussion with your company's computer
security manager.

If the answer is no then try to find the problem on that machine. Look for
Windows 2000, NT, 98 or 95
facilities. They runs on Windows XP but they don't supported by Windows 7.

I hope that helps - with best regards

Helmut Zinn

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
