    hey guys,
    my laptop has just update to Windows 7 Ultimate from Home Premium, its 32bit.
    but i have a problem now.
    i just download the online game Maplestory, and when i click it, it says "this program is not compatible with this Windows version."
    i try it so many times, like change the compatibility of that program to XP SP3, 2 or any others, but it doesnt work at all.
    so ahhh... can you guys help me out.?
    thanks~~~~

    You have tried everything that we would suggest. Plus it turns out it isn't compatible with Windows 7 anyway.

    Also, do you download it user "the old fashioned way"? If not. Then download the exe file to your desktop, then put it in compatibility mode.

    Uh. I've gotten it to work on my laptop despite the warning just fine. Have you actually just tried playing the game to see if it works anyway?


    Then again, it's probably the better the game "doesn't work" anyway, there's much better games to play, but thats just a personal opinion :rolleyes:

    I play a lot of free games and my little bros are avid Maplestoriers. We often get weird error messages. I'm no pro but I would suggest:
    - Uninstall and download MS again
    - Is there a "repair" button?
    - Right click and select "Run as administrator"
    - Lower your security settings
    - Make sure MS is on the firewall OK list

    Usually my problems lie with Gameguard and other security settings.
