Does anybody knows how to run or is successfully running Mathematica 5.2 on 64-bit Windows 7? I have been using Mathematica on XP since it came out and never switched to later version for performance reasons. Now after upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit I installed Mathematica 5.2 on it. The user interface works, but whenever I try to evaluate a cell or manually launch the MathKernel it fails, reporting MathKernel has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Interestingly, when I right-click on MathKernel.exe in the Mathematica's installation directory and select Properties from the menu and then select Compatibility tab, if I select "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" the listbox does offer me the choice of "Windows Server 2008", "Windows Vista", and "Windows 7". BUT no XP!!! If I do the same for the Mathematica user interface the drop-down list- box does contain various "Windows XP" compatibility options. Thanks
