Two of the most common Windows 7 problems are slow speed and compatibility with older programs. Given below are solutions for solving these issues:


1. Older Programs Not Compatible

Before you upgrade to Windows 7, you should find out which of the programs that you use will be compatible with it. You can check the most commonly used programs by using The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. If you want a more detailed check, then you should check at Windows Compatibility Center. If you are already running the OS and have found out that one of the programs you use is compatible, you should use the OS's compatibility mode.

For installing your program in the Compatibility Mode, go to the Properties of the program by right-clicking on its installation file. From the Properties you should switch to the Compatibility tab, and select 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and from the pull-down menu select the latest Windows that you know the software is compatible with. There may the need of repeating this step with your program after it's installed. Moreover, you have the option of changing the settings for the program you want to install and you should check these, depending on the problem you have.

Lastly, if you are using Windows 7 Professional, you have the option of using the Windows 7′s XP Mode. In this mode, Windows XP runs as a virtual machine and enables you to install any program you used with Windows XP in this environment.


2. Windows 7 Seems Slow

Slow speed is one the common Windows 7 problems because the OS likes to use a lot of system resources. The OS has several visual effects that take up a considerable amount of your system memory. If the system worked slowly right from the start, it's likely that this problem can be easily fixed by switching off superfluous effects.

Click on Start in the desktop bar and enter 'performance' in the search box. From the search results, choose the option that adjusts the Windows' appearance and performance. This will open up Performance Options. Here, find the Visual Effects section and from it select Adjust for best performance. If you are interested in retaining a nice looking interface, choose > Custom and select Use visual styles on windows and buttons.

These are two of the most common Windows 7 problems. Hopefully, the solutions provided above will help you take care of them.
