Will Clearview run on Windows 7?

Yes. ClearView runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 , 32 or 64 bit.

I'm glad to hear some of you are running Clearview on Windows 7 so my problem is probably me. I loaded Windows 7 and my Clearview doesn't work. I have what I think is the latest version 5.10B.

When I start Clearview all is well up until one would expect graphics to appear. I get nothing but a black window. The drop-down menus seem to work.

Thanks for your help.
Bob

You will need to go to your video card manufacturer web site and download and install the latest Windows 7 video driver for your video card.

ClearView works with Windows 7, however, if you upgrade your computer to Windows 7, it will install a generic Microsoft driver for your video card that is with limited capability and basically provides basic capabilities to run the operating system. That is why after Win 7 upgrade you must get the latest Win 7 video driver.

I am having this problem too. I upgraded from Vista to Win7 and while CV was working fine before, I only get a black screen with the sound of a plane's motor.

I have also upgraded my Video drivers.

What you need to do is backup all 3rd party models & landscapes. Uninstall Clearview....delete the C:\ClearViewRC folder.

Download the latest version which is 5.26
after you have run it for first time go to file and update to latest version
When that is finished go to file then update latest content.
