Windows 7 & MA3?
I have just installed W7 as a clean installation and I am wondering how it is working with W7.

I don't have W7 yet myself, but the majority of users report that MA3 works fine with it.

Without a Key Code, the fish choices are limited to the top row.

Just completed a clean install from XP to Windows 7 on my desktop, 32 bit, and Marine Aquarium 3 is working good. Fish movemment could be a bit smoother, but there is a slight performance problem. I couldn't be happier if things stayed just the way they are! When my laptop comes down the road, I'll be just as happy to buy MA3 a second time.

What do you mean by "slight performance problem"? How many frames-per-second are you getting?

When people say working great, no problems in Windows 7, are you talking about the Beta or the installer version from Prolific? Is the installer version creating the required folders in their proper locations for Windows 7 because I've heard the folders are different from XP.
Thanks. |

Thanks. ![]() I have two machines that were upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, that seem to still work correctly with MA3. Of course, that does not guarantee that they will be correctly upgraded with the next Installer version of MA3. I have no experience with the Nova installer. |

![]() The current SereneScreen (Prolific) installer seems to be creating the required folders in their proper locations for Windows 7, and appears to be doing the correct things with the Registry. That impression is based on 2 installations of MA3 on "format and install" Windows 7 installations (one 32-bit and one 64-bit).

![]() Thank you. It looks as though the time is right to upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
![]() ![]() Footnote2: If you're considering that, consider buying the download version from Amazon. It's cheaper than getting it from LapLink. Footnote3: YMMV - I didn't have problems with it, but others have. |
