Run Windows 7 Calculator In Windows Vista

The new and improved calculator was one of the first new features of Windows 7 that came to light. Everyone thought that this was a much needed improvement to one of the basic utilities that shipped with almost any version of the Windows operating system since Windows 3.11. Windows Vista users might be delighted to hear that they too can run the Windows 7 Calculator as pointed out by a thread on the Windows Vista Club forum. All they need to do is head over to the forum thread and download the Windows 7 calculator that is linked there.

The 250 Kilobyte download of Windows-7-Calculator.rar should not take long. Unpack the contents to the computer’s hard drive. The calculator can then simply be started by double-clicking on calc.exe. Some users might even go so far and replace the original Windows Vista calculator with the one from Windows 7. It is recommended to first test the calculator by running calc.exe and to backup the original calculator before replacing it with the Windows 7 calculator.

The two files that should be backed up (if existing) are calc.exe in the system32 directory and calc.exe.mui in system32en-US. When that is done copy the files calc.exe and calc.exe.mui into the two folders overwriting any existing files in the process. The Windows 7 calculator should now be available by entering calc in the run dialog form or from the start menu as well.

  3. Schwab Heloc Freeze September 10, 2010 at 4:01 am #

    Can a bank freeze your HELOC account and make it retroactive?
    We are using this account to build a house. The bank sent us a letter that said the account was closed. The date was two weeks before we were notified. They also said any charges during this two week period would not be covered by our account so we have to provide overdraft protection using our other accounts. We ordered a large amount of cement block for our project which we cannot return (special order item). If we were notified the account was closing as of a certain date, we would not have ordered some of these costly supplies. Now we are trying to liquidate other accounts to pay off the credit cards which we had to max out to cover what the bank didn’t. Can the bank legally do this?
