File Compatibility Between Versions Of Roxio Creator

[Tinkerman]

Editting with Creator 2009 on a machine running Windows Vista has become too slow following upgrade of my camera to HD. A new faster machine running Windows 7 seemed to be the solution. (Windows 8 seems to be getting a bad reputation; having been stuck with Vista I don't feel like spending more money on another poor O.S.)

 

Despite reading all the discussion boards I can't get clear in my mind whether Creator 2009 will run under W7 or not. Microsoft say it is compatible and many contributors to this site say it is not. Perhaps I'll go with Creator NXT (or Creator 2012 as there are several negative comments about NXT) however I have been unable to find out whether project files created in Creator2009 will be usable in NXT or Creator 2012. Being stuck with a half completed project started in Creator2009 this is rather a significant point.

 

Can anybody confirm whether projects from earlier versions are usable in later versions?

Project from something that old will not work!

 

Creator 2009 absolutely will not work with Win7!!!

Thanks, Jim.

 

Although Creator 2009 has always provided all the facilities I needed, if all my existing project files can't be accessed in a newer version of Roxio Creator I see no reason to stay with Roxio. Their customer support seems to be so poor that I wouldn't trust buying another product from them.

 

It is only the efforts of you and all the other contributors that have filled the gap resulting from the lack of any appropriate support from Roxio.

Sorry it does not work out...
