Welcome to the Smartfade Forum

David,

Over the weekend I bought a new HP laptop with Windows 7.  Will SmartSoft run on Windows 7.  Currently I am having a bit of trouble setting it up.  I haven't found the knob to expand my screen to encompass the width of the SmartFadeML board.

I am not familiar with running SmartSoft on Windows 7. I have asked other people who may be more familiar to reply to this question.

Smartsoft does require a high degree of screen real estate. I have not found the knob you speak of either. What screen resolution are you running?

This isn't a problem only with Vista - I've had the same problem on I believe Windows XP, where it is impossible to scroll over the virtual Smartfade ML in the computer it's attached too.

I think my screen resolution is about 1200x800 or so (definitely much larger than 800x600).

David,

I have found what I needed.  The answer to my question is Yes, SmartSoft does operate with Windows 7.  I am running at 1600X900 and getting fabulous resolution. 

The original problem I was having was due to operator error (I'm being kind to me as the operator).  I was trying to find the ML console.  I didn't know that I could call it up simply by clicking on the little console icon at the center top of the screen.  Probably a case of not having read all the instructions in the SmartSoft operators manual.

Thank you,

Jim
