Detector Tools does NOT work with the new Windows 7 SP 1.

[Route101]

After installing Windows 7 (64-bit) Professional Service Pack 1, the latest Detector Tools would not work. I spoke with Escort support today, and they confirmed that there is a driver problem with SP-1. Although they are a licensed partner with M$FT and are supposed to be kept compatible, the problem was created by SP-1. I was told M$FT is working on the problem and Escort will send an email to registered users when it is fixed. It will not involve changing Detector Tools app. I tried running in XP compatibility mode, uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. It's a Windows 7 driver issue. For now, I use another computer running either Vista or XP to do my updates.

I ran that program on mine window 7 (32bit) and it ran find.

Did you install SP-1 before you ran it? Mine ran fine until Windows 7 Update installed SP-1. Escort support confirms the problem.

[spartcus]

Yep! I did have sp-1 on it.

I think that because you have the (64 bit) is where you run into problem.

Hmmm. Maybe it's the 64-bit version only, though the Escort rep. just said Windows 7 SP-1.

[spartcus]

Have you ask them about the bits yet?

This 64 bit has endless problems...
just run the 32 bit version and everything works great!!

Escort said they will update Detector Tools and notify subscribers by email when the driver issue is solved. It affects the 64-bit version. Also, I have no other problems with Win 7 64; my notebook has 8GB RAM and a fast processor and cache. The 64-bit version can use up to 8 GB (not as another swap file); the 32-bit OS can use up to 4 GB RAM. I might uninstall SP-1 if Escort's fix is not ready by the time I am away from my XP machine.

64bit is much better, and faster than 32bit an has absolutely no problems, we are not in the xp days anymore.
