My company is still using ACT! 2000 and I am getting a new computer with Windows 7. Will my ACT! 2000 software work with Windows 7? I have also been asked if it will run with 32MB or 64MB?

Hello, I just posted separately that ACT! 6.0 works very well on my 64-bit
system, using (64-bit version of) Windows 7, & I would guess that ACT! 2000 would work as well, depending on your computer & the version of the Windows 7 you have (or will have). I'm running ACT! in the
"XP Mode" (which is part of Windows 7), but be aware that not all
versions of Windows 7 include XP Mode (I have "Professional", which is
akin to Vista Business). And since Intel & AMD did
not enable all processors / chips for this (XP Mode, aka
"Virtualization") capability, you'll need to verify this capability on your
computer, as well. But it works quite well, if you want to run an older
version of ACT! on a newer 64-bit Windows 7 PC. ( ACT! 6.0 would
not install on 64-bit Vista system, & gave message that "ACT! is
not compatible with 64-bit systems", or something to that effect ). Good luck... Message Edited by jcoleman2 on 11-05-2009 02:56 PM

People trying to run ACT! 2000 on Windows7 even in Compatibility Mode will need to make sure that they have the latest version of ACT! 2000 with the patch applied to run on XP. If they are using e-mail they probably are running it with an add-on product as ACT! 2000 email was text only and was pre-HTML. The email engine was written in 1994 with ACT! 6 being a major update to email which added HTML support. The ACT! 2000 ACTDiag I believe also didn't have the option to turn off Opportunistic Locking as that was added in the ACT! 6 version of ACTDiag. ACT! 2000 probably also needs Microsoft Office 2000 as it was ACT! 6 that had a patch to run on Office 2003. Even if it can be made to work on a basic level it is far from ideal. Out of curiosity it would be interesting to see if it would work though.
