Tested on version 4.1.1.5009956
Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that is oficially supported by it's developers only on Windows 10. There are both Steram and GOG versions available, but I would advise against buying it on Steam since the steam client may stop working on Windows 7 at any time, while GOG game releases are DRM-free and have offline installers available so you aren't going to lose the ability to play.
This game comes is two variants bg3.exe (Vulkan based) and bg3_dx11.exe (DirextX 11 based).
You probably want to be using the Vulkan version as dx11 one has a broken map (and minimap)

I've got a Win-7 SP1 Ultimate 32-bit system that has been able to access a folder on a win-98 system with no problems for a long time. I don't think I have any user-name/password set, or if I do, it happens automatically when I want to read/write files on the 98 system from the win-7 system. I have a the win-98 share mapped to a virtual drive on the win-7 system. Offhand I don't recall what I had to do to get things working that way, but it works. I probably had to manually enter the //server/share as /IP-Address-of-98-system/share-folder because browsing for it turns u ..read more

Hello!
I can't get HP printer assistant to work.
I tried it, but nothing works https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Setup-Software-Drivers/Cannot-get-the-main-application-screen-for-my-HP-Officejet/td-p/7149132
Is it Java, specific printer's issue, or Windows 7 issue?
Thank you...

I recently discovered the availability of the Windows 7 "Task Pane Changer" and was wondering if that could be used to apply the Windows 7 preview task pane to a standard retail copy of Windows 7 as pictured below:
If it does work, how would one go about changing the text to white?
Also, is it possible to do the same thing in Windows 8 ..read more

Hi guys..
Im having really hard days getting used to windows7 in this computer that does not allow to install xp/2003.
I play a simple mp3 with my tiny player (xmplay) and immediately the audiodg.exe appears in the task monitor.. so now I have two processes active to play audio:
- The audio player running (1% cpu usage)
- Audiodg.exe that consume between 4-9%!!!!
Is there any hack/tweak to avoid this audiodg.exe? Any modded audiodg.exe without cpu activity or something that does not consume resources?.
I really miss my xp/2003. I dont understand these stupid things to downgrade performanc ..read more

I am using uBlock Origin 1.53.0 currently ... just wondering if this is what most people are using or is there another better working version available. I guess I found this version last October during a search.
Thanks ...

Hello friends, I am currently working on a kernel extending project for Windows 7!
Progress is slow, but I have so far made a wrapper for winhttp.dll (which allows Elden Ring to run with no game mods required, provided you have a suitable DirectX 12 translation layer), and am going to start work on kernel32 soon.
You can find the sources & more information on my GitHub: kernel-extenders/nt61
If you are interested, you can join the Kernel Extenders Discord where prebuilt binaries and other information are being posted: https://discord.gg/zEyPwsmPRF
