IbeatII and Windows 7

Anyone know of an easy fix to get the Ibeat II software to work with Windows 7?

Semco says it works on some Windows 7 not on others? It loads everything and I get an icon on my desktop it just wont open. Says Diagnostic Tool has not normaly installed on this computer.

May need to right click on the setup and install as an administrator. Just a thought.

I have it on a 32bit XP Home edition laptop for use on the bikes, works fine. Works fine on 32bit Vista but gives the same error as Droolsport on 64bit Vista. Is your OS 64bit?

So likely is a 32/64 bit issue........ good to know. I don't think the garage computer will be that fast anytime soon tho.......

Good catch on the 64bit OS being the likely problem.

Try running it on Mictosoft's virtual PC setup for Win 7. It is free and emulates xp.

I'd find an XP machine to use. It would be much less aggrevation and they're not expensive and many of them.

I do not have any Windows 7 but I do have separate 32 bit and a 64bit Vista rigs. iBeat works on my 32bit Vista rig and a 32bit XP rig but not on my 64bit Vista rig. My conclusion is iBeat will not run on a 64bit OS.

Droolsport, is your Win7 64bit?

I am not sure but I have an old laptop with XP on it that runs the software.

You can right click on the program, and click properties and select compatibility tab, and try running it as XP. You're probably safe selecting Service Pack 2. See if that works. I don't know anything about the software, but I know that compatibility mode has worked on other programs for me.

Also on that tab, you can select to run it as Administrator. I recommend checking that as well.
