This used to work perfectly on windows XP. I now have windows 7 & after downloading the Photo Explosion 2.0, it won't open & the programme just freezes. Help.

if its windows 7 you may need to try "compatibility mode" right click on the icon and go to properties and select the compatibility tap and then try different ones until it works.... you may need to go to the software makers web site and look for a patch for the software to work with win 7

Hi,
Yes it compatible with Windows XP/ Vista /Windows 7.


Thanks for using FixYa.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. Have you tried running the software in Compatibility Mode? Depending on your version of Windows 7, you may have the ability to run it in Compatibility Mode. Try right-clicking on the Photo Explosion shortcut that is on your Desktop. Then, go to Properties from the pop-up menu. Then, select the Compatibility tab. On that tab, put a check next to "Run the program in compatibility mode for:". Then, select Windows XP SP2. Click on the OK button to save this setting. Finally, try launching the program again.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi!
What I understand is that your photo explosion deluxe is a windows xp software. Since it is not working readily out of the box in windows 7 then what you could do is install windows xp mode for windows 7. Windows xp mode allows xp software to be installed and windows 7. What you need to do is just download windows xp mode and install it. After which you could then install that software on there. Just make sure to uninstall your current installation of photo explosion deluxe before you do this.
Here is the link to the download for windows xp mode: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
And Here is the link to some of their videos on how to use xp mode so that you could understand further how to set it up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/default.aspx
If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to come by again here at fixya.com
You have a great day.

Hello rwray69, regarding on your problem/concerned first you have to identify if your Photo Explosion software can support windows 7 operating System because if the software it self cannot support Windows 7 Operating System it may not work properly or it will not run in windows 7 environment. Most of the software only supports on Windows XP will not support higher windows operating system. you have to download another Photo Explosion software that can support windows 7 Operating system. In that way, you can successfully run the software under windows 7 environment.

Thanks

Jon

Here's one from left field,

Download this photo app. It on all new customer's software builds.

After that, yes, there is an XP Mode available for free download to users of W7 Pro, Ultimate or Enterprise and would run your previous more "friendly" version.
