Tinyword - Windows 7

Ray P · 13. Dec 2010, 11:16 PM

I can't install TinyWord on my New HP Windows 7 computer; it goes through all
the steps and at the end I get a error message on the desktop icon; when I
open it up I get this message " there was a problem sending command to the
program"' what do I need to do?

I am not familiar with this program. However, from their website, it is supposed to be Windows 7 compatible:

Supports all Windows Systems

TinyWord supports all Windows Operating system, including Windows 7. Cross-compatibility over all Windows versions and different Word formats, TinyWord handles it all!

The only thing I can think of is that you might have a 64-bit OS and it may not be compatible with 64-bit. I could not find a forum on their site. You may want to try to figure out a way to email the author of the program.

I had a quick look at the TinyWord website as I was wondering if it's an admin rights thing.
No WOT rating on the site which looks quite new. There's a small link at the top of the page explaining how the installation is managed with something called InstallQ (looks like some sort of automated install direct from the webpage). The "learn more" link sends you to a red WOT rated website which tells you that InstallQ needs to install cookies and make registry changes to your PC. I guess the security settings on your PC and/or browser are preventing it from installing properly.

Personally I wouldn't touch this one.
Choose something from here instead.

Absolutely - I would steer well clear, I've seen this before.

I remember that TinyWord was mentioned in a comment on the main site, and it was removed because of the red WOT link to InstallQ which Sope mentioned earlier. I would also advise to stay clear of this program.

There are better alternatives available like Abiword, Jarte. Also, Softmaker Office 2008 is being offered for free. Its a good grab.
