tannerjohnso1 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I successfully installed it but it will not open despite warning me that there may be UI and performance issues because I refuse to use Windows Aero. I'm sure my workstation is plenty powerful enough to bypass these problems. Any chance of making the warning a warning, not just a refusal to launch the program? 2x Xeon E5-2630v3 (8 core, 2.4GHz Base), 64GB RAM, Quadro K4200, Windows 7 Enterprise.

Chris_K Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We need certain elements aero activates for the software to run properly. It's a system requirement for all our aps Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerjohnso1 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 @Chris_K Thanks for the response. Unfortunate but If that's the case, I'll limit the beta to my Win10 laptop with Aero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted August 30, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 30, 2018 You can give Mark's suggestion a try from the following post but as mentioned in the post, we won't accept any bug reports whilst this command line flag is active.

CodeDog Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 tannerjohnso1, I still use Windows 7 Pro, and don't like or use Aero. When Photo and Designer were published I bought both, and was lucky to come across the command line addition option that Leigh mentioned above. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use the apps. As Leigh also mentioned, there is no support if you use this option, but I haven't had any problems with either app (so far). I do wish Aero wasn't a requirement, but I'm fine with using this workaround to be able to use the software. Patrick Connor 1 Quote A computer once beat me at chess.

tannerjohnso1 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 @CodeDog The command line option seems to work for Publisher as well. My personal laptop (with Win10) is my primary but with little time to use it lately, my work computer is the best option for playing with the beta.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I had already downloaded the Publisher Beta and used the option there also. Works fine. I have a couple Windows 10 (and 8) systems to stay current for tech support, but my primary work/production systems are still Win 7. Just like the way it works...
