Original Blog Entry: Possible Solution To Run Advantage Plus in Windows 7

Question to those of you having problems with your program running in another version of windows......

Did you install the program or did you copy the program?

I created a file for my program and copied my program and sent a shortcut to my desktop.

When I run the program from my thumbdrive I open the file and find the file that opens the program.

On my netbook I am using windows Starter and I've had no problem with it.

I have ran my software on my daughters Vista notebook.

My son has a Wal-Mart special HP running Windows 7 Home Premium and I was not able to load it. Fudgecicles!!!!

Now I am wondering why all of the windows were not created with the same operating system so that the consumer would not be stuck having to spend more money.

I checked the SmartLuck site and found this information: http://www.smartluck.com/32bitrequired.htm

Advantage Plus will only run on 32-bit versions of XP, Vista, and 7 as a DOS application. This program will NOT run on 64-bit versions of XP, Vista, or 7, except in DOSBox or in XP mode in Windows 7. XP mode is available for free with Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate. DosBox is a free, Open source Dos Emulation program that allows most dos programs to run. DOSBOX allows Advantage Plus to work from any 64 bit version of windows.
