theuseless Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi, I recently got a laptop with windows 7 on it. I was used to using programs like NifSkope in WinXp. I have found some issues with running modder utilities in the Win7 environment. My question is fairly simple: Do I install a separate partition running Windows XP? Or do I run emulation software? I found a program called Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit, which can 'fix' programs to work properly. Any advice would be great, I remember there being a sticky about these issues, but I cannot find it. theuseless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephenee13 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oblivion works fine on 7. You have Oblivion installed in Program Files, you'll need to move it. Make sure you follow the uninstall guide to do it successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aruless Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I would say none; so far any manager, nifskope and other tools i used in xp, work great in my 2year old w7, what kind of error/problem u have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuseless Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I understand that Oblivion has to be in it's own folder, outside the program files folder. I have had problems using some of the programs, such as NifSkope. They say that they need extra libraries. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad running Windows 7 pro with all updates. I was able to create extra libraries with the Act tool from Microsoft. I believe this to be the best work around. I was just wondering if using the Act program (basically a script extender) would be most efficient. The alternative is using emulation or partitions. Which would be less demanding on my computer? Thanks and kudos for the fast replies. --edit-- I will come back and give kudos. The site seems to be bugged atm Edited May 17, 2012 by theuseless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalRiot Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) You may need to install the latest version of Python 2.7 - 32 bit. Running Oblivion and Nifskope on Win7x64 here, as well. Edited May 17, 2012 by AnimalRiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
