samingeorgia Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 This old XP machine is about dead. I switched to Drake starting in 2011, but I really need to keep ATX 2000 - 2010 available in cases dealing with non-filers. Will these old programs work OK with Win 7 Pro? Thanks!

ATX 2005-2014 will work well with WIN7. 2004 and older need to be on an XP machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringers Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sam, I have ATX from 1999 through 2012 (the last year I used it) installed on my Win7 Ultimate 64 bit computer. All of the years work perfectly. I could not install the old Saber programs from 1988 through 1998, however; they are still on an XP machine.

Pacun Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Windows 7 automatically runs on XP mode for old programs. Install those programs starting with the oldest one and then the newer versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomTaxed Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 ATX 2005-2014 will work well with WIN7. 2004 and older need to be on an XP machine. We had a failure loading ATX2007 on our new Win7Pro64 machines, and ATX tech support told us that nothing older than ATX2008 would be supported. So we gave up; our new deployment of Win7Pro64 machines (Dell XPS 8700) has ATX2008 through ATX2014 on the desktop. We'll put one of the best, but old WinXP machines back on the network, and we'll TeamView (remote control) into it when we need to check anything from those earlier years.

You talked to the wrong tech support person. I have 10 workstations with WIN 7 and all years 2005-2013 installed and running. Again, ATX tech support, with a few, very few, exceptions is not equipped for the task they are trying to do. Blaming things on hardware and operating systems are examples of the uninformed nature of tech support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomTaxed Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Oh. Thanks, Jack. I'll make some time later to get the earlier years running by calling ATX tech support. I'm a bit stressed now, what with our training schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
