PM 4.4.3.3
« on: September 01, 2011, 09:47:47 AM »
I have just bought a new computer  with Windows 7 and 64 bit. I am using PM 4.4.3.3 (I know this is no longer supported and I should upgrade it - and that might be the solution) PM now hangs/freezes.

Suggestions?

thanks,
Garry

Garry,

I have just bought a new computer  with Windows 7 and 64 bit. I am using PM 4.4.3.3 (I know this is no longer supported and I should upgrade it - and that might be the solution) PM now hangs/freezes.

The issue is the Aero Glass user interface in Windows Vista and Windows 7.  I believe that you can bring up the properties of the Photo Mechanic application and choose some sort of emulation or fallback mode that runs the application as if it were a Windows XP application and that may help.

Otherwise, yes, you should upgrade to PM 4.6

Thanks Kirk, I had already tried that - looks like I have to upgrade!
