I have Acid 6 on a Windows 7 computer. Whenever I click on the track fx for any track, a "windows help" window pops up.

Any way to get rid of this?

Since ACID (Music Studio? Pro?) 6 was before Windows 7, I'm betting that, like a lot of apps that weren't designed for that OS (and Vista), you're going to run into issues.

Did you try running in compatibility mode?

Acid Pro. I will give it a try in compatibility mode, thanks.

Try the link again. Compatability mode will not solve the problem.

Okay, the link works now, but I don't think it will help my problem. It says it only runs on WIndows Vista. I am on a WIndows 7 machine with Acid Pro 6.

We saw this problem in ACID when Vista was released. This was the solution at the time.

ACID 6 is not supported on Windows 7, but this Vista solution may work.
