FreeDO v1.9 on Windows 7 - Vista bug gone.

Just thought I'd share...

The bug that caused FreeDO v1.9 to run at about 40fps on Vista is gone in Windows 7. I expected it to be the same, but am pleasantly surprised.

How about the bug that makes false promises and deletes the proof? ok maybe that was a low blow. :)

I can't get FreeDO v1.9 to run at all on Windows 7. Perhaps 'cause it's 64-bit?

Isn't there a 32bit emulation mode in Window 7 that might fix things?

Just checked v1.9 on my Windows 7 (64-bit) laptop, and it runs fine without any tweaking. Can you give any other details? Specific error messsage?
