Zmud and Windows 7

[Estrild]

Just popping in because this is finally letting me on: zMud does not work with Windows 7 and Telnet isn't included anymore, so on all of these trial sites you'll need to update your site's "How to Connect" blurbs to include something about cMud.

I've been using zMud at home on Windows 7... what's causing it to not work? Will it not open? Will it not connect?

[Eltsac]

Zmud is working on 7 for me too. What version of Zmud do you use? the one linked on FK's website?

[Estrild]

wut

You guys are clearly exceptions! Even the zMud website says that zMud isn't supported by Vista or 7 and anyone who gets it to run is lucky. I've tried every single version I could find and had to switch over. cMud is basically the same thing, though I don't like it as much because I don't like change.

I couldn't make zMud work on Windows 7 either, despite cajoling, coercing and bribery

cMud is -alright- I suppose. It's got a few nice new features, but it also does some inexplicable and improbable things that're plain annoying.

Zmud works fine for me on Windows 7, both the newer version and the old version listed on the FK website.

[Lysha]

zMud works for me on Vista.

I'm having the same problem, Est. New Window's 7 Laptop but no Zmud will work. Tried about five different times.

Java does the job though, especially after Mask did the awesome updates!

Just an FYI:

Even if you can't get zMud to work (or other clients for that matter), telnet can be turned on with Windows 7. If you need to know how to turn on telnet with Windows 7, PM me or post here and I'll give the instructions.

Note: I would recommend EVERY other source before going telnet, as I'm sure everyone else would too.

About Zmud on windows 7, couldn't it help to try to run it as administrator?
Don't know, sometimes this makes things work without really knowing why :p

Estrild, I am using Windows 7 x64-bit and the verison of zmud that FK has supplied since the dark ages works for me so long as I run it as an administrator. You might also check where it is installed? Try running installing it somewhere other than the programs folders and give it a try too if you left it at the default path.

Zmud runs just fine with no fuss on windows 7 for me. I use the version offered in 'getting started'.

[Athon]

Lathlain/Estrild - What version of Windows 7 are you running? Starter, Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate?

[Lathlain]

I managed to snag a version of Professional from work, and it's a 32-bit system. It's probably worth noting that it's the paid-for version of Zmud I've tried using too. I haven't tried the free version yet!

Besides... Fang works on anything so who cares about Zmud?

I use 7.21 on windows 7 - eltsac is right, you have to run it as administrator or install it into the normal program files...not (x86)
