I have just purchased Natmap 1:250 Topo Raster Map of Australia.
It comes with a Map viewer ect. However It wont load using Windows 7.
Anyone got any fixes for this.

Note loads on my mates computer who has Windows XP no problem.'

Thanks
Wayne

Quickly...This has been asked before (several times) though think the issue was with Vista. Do a search of older threads.

Cheers

I use oziexplorer with windows 7 without any issues.

If you haven't got oziexplorer you should send an email to the Geoscience site site feedback@ga.gov.au and see if they can assist

You say it won't load, do you mean it wont install, or wont run once installed.

I have it running fine in windows 7.

If it won't install, run the Installer in Compatibility mode for windows XP SP 3

Thanks guys.

Yes It wont install using Full Installation. Appears to install when "Typical " Installation is used

Found a note in Geoscience about this problem said to do a "Typical" install then copy maps ect onto hard drive. The installation has now worked using the Typical Installation. However I dont understand how to use the Map Manager to configure the Nat Map Raster Program.
Thanks
