[AccessD] AC97 Under Win 7

Hi Mark

Great, but if I recall correctly, Drew once told the same story, though I
think it was on Vista.
So how did you do? Will you release a guide?

Next step - as Win7 32-bit is not used that much - can you make it run under
Win7 64-bit?

Looking forward to your 97 experience update!

Emne: [AccessD] AC97 Under Win 7

If anyone is interested, I finally got Access 97 to install with the SR2b
release onto Windows 7 Ultimate (32) without having to use a stupid virtual
machine as all of the experts advised.
In doing the research, I discovered that if you don't do it right, you can
totally destroy the Windows 7 installation with the SR2b install package.
It acted almost like a rootkit virus....not even Safe Mode would work !
Pretty remarkable behavior.

Then you can ask me why I am still doing dev under AC97....I've already
mentioned that story once on this list....wait till you hear the update !
