I have a good friend who I introduced to this game this weekend. He has a very old computer and decided to get a laptop. He asked me a question I didn't know the answer to. The question is, will wizard 101 run on windows 7? I wonder if anyone has any experience with it, maybe in beta? Or does someone have knowledge regarding this? Any information is greatly appreciated.

If anyone associated with KI knows, can you please respond?

Internally Wizard101 is running fine on our Windows 7 machines. You may encounter driver errors that concern video drivers if they're not up to date, and occasionally we've seen errors about the product not being 'registered' but we are working to correct that.

Thank you so much Professor. I will take that into consideration before upgrading Windows. :D

ProfessorGreyrose: the above quote was made on 20 October 2009; it has been a month and a half/near two months since this quote was made. Will you, or can you, give us an update on the progress of Wizard101 compatibility with Windows 7. I, like many others I'm sure, am considering upgrading to Win 7 - and probably will. My concern, of course, is will this wonderful game operate in it's full and entirety - and if not (which I understand is quite possible), what problems might I expierence, or maybe information I might loose? I am asking only so I might be aware of what to expect and not get caught off-guard or totally blindsided. Any and all information you can afford us wizards would be greatly appreciated. I anxiously await your reply.

Respectfully submitted,

Im trying to load this game onto my laptop, it has windows 7. For some reason it has been downloading the same patch over and over again for the last day, non stop. Has anyone ever seen this or know how to fix this?
