Windows 7 support
 

Hello everyone.
I am using Prime95 for stress testing and would like to know whether Windows 7 is fully supported. I assume there should not be any problem since x64 (which is the version I use) platform is still x64, Vista or 7. But there are some application incompatibilies from time to time, so I wanted to ask the author. The thing is, sometimes Prime95 doesn't give me an error message, but instead the system throws the the classical "...program stopped responding" window at me. I still believe it is caused by the overclocking I am testing, BUT since I never had that happen on Vista, I thought it might be a good idea to check.
Thanks for answers/opinions.

I've been using Windows 7 since the first beta. No problems or incompatibilities that weren't there with Vista (meaning you have to Login first for it to autostart, or use the Service version that has no GUI)

Works fine you need Administrator rights to get writable rights in C:\Program Files but after that it works.
