Hi,

A friend has a new Win7 machine and can't get Hoversnap v08
running. She downloaded the zip file, ran it, with gives

Readme.txt
HoverSnap.exe
HoverKHook.dll

Then when she launches the .exe, she gets a messages saying that
HooverKHook.dll cannot be found.

Anyone ideas? Is this program compatible with Win7, both 32- and
64-bit?

Sounds like she is trying to run it from within the ZIP. When you
do that it unpacks the file being run (only that file) a temp
location. Try unpacking all the files into to a single folder and
run it form there. It should then see it's DLL right next to it.




We put the .zip in:

Downloads\hoversnap and unpacked it in the hoversnap folder, which
gave the three files mentioned, in the hoversnap folder. Then she
double clicked HoverSnap.exe. Do you think this still be incorrect?
I won't be at her machine until Monday to try anything differently.
Does Win7 have it's own screen grabbing tool, like SnipIt? I believe
she's running Win7 Pro, 64-bit.

Is she clicking on the exe in the new folder or in the zip file?


The .exe file itself. I've installed this, and many executables that
were packed/zipped/compressed/etc. I just wonder if HoverSnap, because
it's so old, (or any HoverDesk apps) are compatilble with Win7. I
thought I had it on a Vista Home 32-bit machine, long ago did a clean
intall of Win7 on it. I've never tried to install HoverSnap on anything
newer than Vista, until today.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that you addressed my concern, so I'll rephrase what I
said for better clarity - and emphasis...

The exe file itself IN THE NEW EXTRACTED FOLDER, or the exe file itself
IN THE ZIP FOLDER?

Sorry if you did mean in the extracted folder, but I thought I saw
ambiguity on both ends of this transaction :-)
