Will it run, yeah it'll run.

 

Will it run well enough to use. Good luck with that.

 

Working for a reseller and I can tell you i don't even have it installed

I think you can run the program and create geometry and toolpaths but you

cant save or retrieve any files

I have V9 running on Win7 32bit, the only thing I use it for is updating preV8 files for customers and reference.

McamV9 will not load in Win7 64bit. The software was never designed to run in the new OS architecture.

V9 will run on Win7 x64 with a net hasp

It will run on Win 7 x32 on a net or local hasp.

It can open and save files and runs normally.. the problem is the graphics and enity selection

are so bad it is unuseable.

I have it installed on this workstation to open pre V8 files and that's all its good for.

If you must use V9, you will need to run Win- XP for your OS...

you will not get any serious work done with V9/Win 7

I suggest you run XP SP3 as SP2 is no longer getting MS security updates

I believe the ultimate answer would be, why run McamV9?

 

It's outdated software, MSoft is sun-setting WinXP, have you tried to find a front clip for a '64 Chrysler New Yorker, ( my fave,...Hey!,,how come I can't open this SWorks 2011 sldprt file in McamV9??? )

if you have Win 7 pro or ultimate you can try running under XP mode.

Jay have you tried?

 

It STILL doesn't run well AT ALL

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

Hey John, Jay didn't say it would run good. Just that it might run. LOL have a good Holiday both of you, from one old fart to 2 others

I know, it's just that false sense of hope

 

Have a Merry Christmas Todd

You will also need to select "run in 256 colors"

(I haven't tried this because I have no use for v9 but it should help)
