Hello.

Is anyone using Organic Art Deluxe successfully with Windows 7?

I am intrested in this as well.

It appears that Organic Art Deluxe is a 16 bit Active x program - anyone know how to port such a thing to work in 32 bit Windows 7?

I've just got it working in win 7 ultimate. All I did was copy D3DRM.DLL from the installation CD and pasted it into C/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32. Make sure it is in uppercase or OAD won't pick it up. Also check that the D3DRM.INF is in the inf folder in windows and it should work.

Hello and thanks for that. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition, but that shouldn't make any difference. What resolution are you running your monitor at and should that make a difference? Thanks in advance to any and all who may be able to provide assistance.

Cheers!

Hi

My screen is 1920 x 1080 and I'm running an AMD 760G intergrated graphics card, nothing fancy. Have you tried copying the installation CD to C:\ and running setup from there and or right clicking on setup.exe and run it compatability mode. Has your Win version a program files (x86) folder as this is where OAD has been installed on my system. I think I read somewhere that the ultimate version will run just about any old program but the home version will only run win 7 programs, not sure about this.
