I had to back up & re-create the database folders and point the system to them to get it running again. The locations of certain files did not translate directly from WIN7 to WIN10. It took over 3 hours to re-index when I first started configuring the new system. The installation of Easy Worship takes a LONG time as I have to re-index all the databases. I wish I could have found a new system that had a downgrade option or drivers available for WIN7, but extensive research turned up nothing we could use in our budget range. I will re-try it when I have plenty of time to recover from any screw-ups as a result. We started 2 hours late as a result and lost about half of our participants who elected not to wait. That was the only process I tried, as I had to quickly roll back & get the software running ASAP for the meeting. When running Easy Worship it would lock up the system if I tried to either add a new song or edit an existing song (lyrics) in the library database.

The message I got was something like 'this software is incompatible with this Windows version' when I tried to run Classic Shell.

I will try that once the VERY important events coming up are behind us. I suspect that the more recent WIN7 'updates' are responsible for the slowdown of a previously working system to drive/force users to upgrade systems and O/S! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: The laptop we were using has become too slow and outdated for our use, hence the upgrade to the new system. I can't afford to be without the Easy Worship for our services as we are totally dependent on it for ALL aspects of the service. Will this 'roll back' hold up long-term or will MicroShaft eventually HOSE the system once again? Easy Worship has worked flawlessly in WIN7 since around 2009.

I did not try anything else to see if there were other conflicts as I had to get our presentation software running IMMEDIATELY to have our Bible study, and to be ready for our 14th Anniversary service coming up this Sunday. Bible study delayed a total of 115 minutes as a result! I briefly tried running Easy Worship under WIN7 compatibility mode and it produced the same issue, despite the 'troubleshooting wizard' indicating it should work. I 'rolled back' the update (took another hour), and everything is back working again.

It did this after over 5 hours of installing updates which delayed our Bible study initially by 45 minutes tonight. It has also caused our church presentation software (Easy Worship) to lock up and freeze the computer. My new HP All-in-One just installed at my church evidently did the 'Anniversary Update' to WIN10 today despite my setting of 'ask to install updates.' It has now HOSED Classic Shell, which is the only reason I would even consider using WIN10.
