Windows Live Writer and Windows 7

I love using Windows Live Writer instead of BlogEngine.net web editing.  That’s a no-brainer.  But I installed Windows 7 Beta, and Live Writer no workey.  It just crashed on startup.  Others have reported it hanging on startup.

Finally found a simple fix.  It’s pretty obvious, but I’ve had such success with Vista and Windows 7 that I had forgotten about program compatibility.

Right-click the Live Writer shortcut, Select the “Compatibility” tab, check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” checkbox, and select Windows Vista.
