    Hi,

    I just developed a desktop app for facebook chat. Works brilliantly on xp and vista. However am having a few issues with windows 7. It works for some, and not for others.

    If anyone wants to give it a try, am especially interested in testing it on 64bit machines, i think that's where the big issue is.

    Here is the link http://apps.facebook.com/parley_im/

    Btw, it will be really helpful if you guys can provide me with some screenshots of any errors or problems you may get. I work in tech, but this is my first desktop program, and honestly my first proper programming adventure. I am still clueless about lots of things and still learning along the way.

    I made it in c#, mostly managed code, but a few native calls only for the forms/ui.

    Any help and pointers will be much appreciated.

    Many thanks..

    What kind of problems were reported to you on Windows 7? A problem that sometimes hits programmers on Windows 7 is that not all PCs will let you save into the installation folder in program files.
