Windows 7 question - 01-11-2010, 06:02 PM

I am trying to install a new piece of software (non-photographic) and I keep getting an error that says "Support for long filenames not enabled.”

Is there a setting in W7 that I can enable long file names?

Thanks!

What software? Sounds almost like there's a compatibility issue.

I would say your hard drive is formatted wrong. Fat or NTFS ?

For example, the older MS-DOS FAT file system supports a maximum of 8 characters for the base file name and 3 characters for the extension, for a total of 12 characters including the dot separator. This is commonly known as an 8.3 file name. The Windows FAT and NTFS file systems are not limited to 8.3 file names, because they have long file name support, but they still support the 8.3 version of long file names.
