Just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I then installed Geforce Platinum (I bought it quite sometime ago and have used it since). The screensavor part works but sometimes a message comes up in the screensaver window (when clicking Preview) saying there is an error and have to re-install Geforce.
Playing music in WMP 12 though and Geforce doesn't work at all. It's listed in the Visualzations but when clicking on it, nothing happens.
I am very surprised I can't find a single post here about Geforce and Windows 7 64 bit.
So does it work or not?

there are a bunch of threads on this topic, problem is people put them all over the place.
read this thread about half way down there are some quotes from andy about 64 bit windows.

I had searched for threads before I posted mine and didn't find any.
I find it quite unacceptable that no mention whatsoever about compatibility with Windows 7 is even on the website concerning the products sold, but they will quite happily accept your money for a product that is not going to work if your own Windows 7.
I had used Geforce for about 3 years and thought it was the best visual enhancement for Windows Media Player. Now I can't use it anymore. It just so happens my yearly subscription is up and I would have to renew with more cash to get the latest version which I'm not going to do. That brings up another gripe of mine (since I'm on a roll) about the pricing. $24 a year to have a screensaver and visual enhancement for WMP is quite overpriced and riduculous.

maybe you should read the faq a bit more carefullyMike89 wrote:I had searched for threads before I posted mine and didn't find any.

from the faq
What are the system requirements?
G-Force requires Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.4 (or later) and requires a G5 or P4 processor (or later). G-Force requires hardware graphics acceleration, so you should install and try the free trial version of G-Force in order to ensure that it runs satisfactorily on your system. Please note that G-Force does not currently support the 64 bit versions of Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. Also note that the G-Force screen saver is not currently compatible with the 64-bit version of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). (See below for more information.)

OK! Well, my Whitecap and GForce work properly with my 64 bit windows 7 ultimate except for the fact when I try to make it full screen in windows media player. nothing shows up (just black screen and buttons at bottom) and when I try to take it back to full screen with the playlist on the side it freezes and stops working. I never had this problem when running windows vista ultimate 64 bit and was wondering if anybody knows what is causing this.
