Current & Recent Production Versions of Wordshark & Numbershark:
All single user and network versions from release 4.06 are compatible with Windows
7 computers (both 32 bit and 64 bit).
Older Single User and network Versions:
Windows 7 x32 bit computers:
Experience to date is that release 4.05 back to release 3.08 will run on many 32-bit
Win 7 PC machines, whether these have been upgraded from XP or Vista, or are fresh
Windows 7 installs.
On a minority of 32-bit computers, the quality of sound or graphics falls short of
acceptable standards, but these issues are reduced or cured by right-clicking the
desktop icon, left-clicking “Properties”, selecting the “Compatibility” tab and
selecting “XP SP3” compatibility. This requires Win 7 “Home Premium” version, or
higher: This feature is not present on Win 7 “Basic”, installed mainly on budget-end
net books. In such cases, or if the “compatibility” tab does not clear the problem,
then you are advised to contact Sales for upgrade prices.
Windows 7 x64 bit computers:
If you buy a 64 bit computer, and have a Wordshark or Numbershark version earlier
than 4.06, please contact Sales or your local distributor for upgrade prices.
For all v 3 and 4 releases to 4.05, there are significant graphics and sound issues
with most 64-bit machines. These are particularly noticeable on machines with Multi-Touch
touch screen capability. “Compatibility Tab” options may help to some extent, as
described above.
Is my computer a x32 bit or x64 bit machine?
Click on the Start circle / right click “Computer” and left-click “Properties”. Under
the “System” heading, look for “System type”.
