HY-8 and Windows 7

[Rookie2]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is using FHWA HY-8 7.2 on a Windows 7 (32 bit) computer. I recently installed Windows 7 and I'm trying to finish a project that I started using HY-8. It seems to work fine until I try to define an irregular roadway section. It gives an error that says "MFC application has stopped working". I've read that this error can be caused by anti-virus sofware. Just curious if this error is due to something specific to my computer or if others experienced it.
Thanks in advance for any input.

You may want to try running the program XP version mode. You can right click the .exe and ask it to run in a previous version of windows. I personally have not tried it yet.

Using it and never got that problem...

Ditto, using it and haven't had a problem. There is an older discussion in here about setting up the "windows virtual machine" though, which will run any legacy software.

Thanks for your responses. I reinstalled the Microsoft .Net framework and it seems to work fine now. I also downloaded and installed the Windows virtual machine. That's a very helpful tip. Hoping it will save some money on other software upgrades...Thanks Again
