Hi all, this is one of the most difficult forums to use, all I wanted to do was to pass some info to your support team as the software that is called Lightplayer and I know it is third party but I cant even make out the opening page so have know idea who to complain to. the screen is totally corrupted, I am on a machine that was built in the last year, 12 cores Xeon processer W3670 with 12 gigs of ram running windows 8 64bit pro version. and a NVidia GTX570. not a dinosaur from the days of win3.1, 98, or XP, all now all gone to quire invisible as far as Microsoft is concerned , that seams the level that is used by far to many companies or is it just a pass the buck user cant complain its not us its your software, well this user does complain, Or do I start a campaign for all code to be public and fixable by all. and make it against the law to put out software that is not current and will run on the current version of the OS in Microsoft’s case it is now 8, as it waste the users time. and time has value. if bundled software is not current then they should expect trouble s
Unfortunately, from experience, many companies do not have the resources and knowledge to update their often complex software and drivers whenever a new OS comes out. Especially with Windows 8 64-bit, you will encounter a lot more software and hardware that is not compatible. They can not be expected to stop selling their hardware every time a new OS comes out with which it is suddenly not compatible, that is why most software has system requirements.
Your blame is misplaced, it is Microsoft that keeps moving the goal posts–often as with Windows 8 for no genuine benefit to the user. The computing world is growing/has grown weary of upgrading everything just because MS says it’s time–other than in the happy homeowner consumer world W8 will be a bust just like Vista.
Enterprise users are just now moving to Windows 7, and that only because XP support ends next year. Actually it will be interesting to see if it really does–there are a LOT of business, manufacturing and lab systems that run on XP; I suspect that just like Cobol they will not go away just because Microsoft wishes they would…
============================
Micro = small
Soft = not hard
Is that what you would name your company?
Have you checked your screen resolution?
I think Light Player requires 1024 X 768
Since this is the standard for most machines.
Also when Light Player came out XP was the highest O/S out at the time.
If I’m not mistaken.
