February 28th, 2009Using GoToMeeting with Windows 7
I’ve been using Windows 7 now (Build 7000) for about 2 weeks and am very happy with it. I still get some strange behavior now and again, but overall, it’s been very stable. I much prefer it to either XP or Vista. I do find some software I can’t easily get to work (which is no surprise), but if I really need it (like I do GoToMeeting), I usually figure out a way to make it work.
So, for GoToMeeting, if you launch it from their web site (http://www.gotomeeting.com) and simply say “Create Meeting”, you will get an error saying IE8 is not supported. I found that if I actually downloaded the GoToMeeting application from their web site, then move the application to my start bar and set the properties to be “Run As Vista” and “Run As Administrator”, I had success.
Hopefully, this will work for you.
