I'm a new EXE user. I tried it out last week for the first time on Windows XP and it worked perfectly. But I couldn't get it to run on my other laptop which has Windows 7. A Firefox page opens with an error message (something about XUL). The installation notes of EXE say that it's meant for Windows XP and Vista. I tried using the 'program compatibility' checker on Windows 7 but that didn't help.
Some other users have reported problems with running EXE on the latest Firefox version on Windows 7. To eliminate Firefox as the problem, I changed my default browser to IE.
Then I opened the task manager and ended the EXE process - I think it runs in the background even if you haven't managed to open it successfully. After that I started EXE again and voila! I can now use it!
I can't say if EXE will run perfectly now, but I have managed to get it running. The trick could be to change the default browser to IE (I have IE 8) on Windows 7 and make sure that EXE is not already running in the background before restarting it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This method used to wok for me but now I can't get either the installed or USB version to open. the only way I can get it to work is to use XP Mode on Virtual PC.
Hope this helps

Hi, I'm having the same problem with my Window 7. Can I know how to change the default browser? Thanks.
