Windows 7 Tested Software Thread

[Jabo]

Having recently migrated to Windows 7 myself, and having noticed that a number of other DDz have/are also going down the same route, I thought it might be useful for those chaps who havent yet gone there to know what works and what doesn't. So far, this is where I am;

All working in Windows 7 (x86 - 32 bit)

Trackir v5.0.220 (or Beta 3)

Nvidia WHQL Drivers for Windows 7 (9800GTX/GTX+) v185.85 - There are issues with the standard driver that ships with Win 7

Saitek 6.2.2.4 (X52 Pro)

Saitek 6.2.2.4 (Direct Output for X52 Pro)

Firefox 3.0.10

Avira AntiVir Personal

Creative Fatal1ty USB Headset

Realtek HD Audio Manager (not sure of version, will check - Std Vista though)

Logitech G15 (needs to be run in Compatiblity mode (Vista))

Not working in Windows 7

McAfee Total Protection 2009

I'll add more as I find 'em, but that's it for now
