Hello people ! I'm very disappointed because I can't install arduino software on my Asus EE PC running windows 7 starter It doesn't start ! when clicking on arduino icon appears the splash screen and remains two minutes and the it crashes... I suspect could be a java problem but I don't really know. I also tried versions 023,022,021 and 020 but nothing ...
In you opinion, arduino schetch must start anyway also if serial usb driver is not installed yet? or this could be the reason ? Can anyone help me ? Thank you a lot
before abandon, I would like to know how many people are using windows 7 started running Arduino ... I can't believe nothing use windows 7 started. I have 2 GB ram
well well well, good news from here. I've reinstalled windows 7 starter on my notebook and arduino software last version WORKS FINE !!!! I think the reason for malfunctioning could be and application running that generate conflict or some windows/ Java upgrade that blocks arduino. I will try to discover the exactly reason, next year
If you have Arduino version 1.0, some libraries doesn't work at all, like LCD4bit LCD4Bit_mod.
I use a keypad shield liquid crystal display and it requires those old libraries.
not compatible with v1.0; programs only compile with an ancient version: v22 or v23. :%
Edison: it's not always true. My netbook was plenty of applications installed in about one year. The problem could be some driver conflict (I read on the web that logitec drivers may cause problems, but it's not my matter) or some daily Java upgrade For me, reinstalling OS from original image was faster than discovered the reason of conflicts. I'm sure that also linux or OSX may have something disturbing issue if you aren't so lucky I have also OSX10.5 running on G5 and arduino works fine but I needed a lot of time to setup the serial port.
To all Windows haters I don't like windows at all but, imo, it's not a good praxis to declare windows as the guilty before understand the reason of any problem !!!

Oh, thank you very much for this info. In fact, I've a color lcd shield module ! Now, I switch to Version 0023
