    Do you have the newest version of the software? Some older programs/versions may not work in Windows 7.

    Check with the program maker to verify if it’s compatible, or if they have any updates or patches to make it work.

    Windows 7 Compatibility Center to check program and hardware compatibility:

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Troubleshoot Compatibility 

    This can help with some (but not all) programs/drivers:

    1. Uninstall the program if it's already installed. Then when you install/reinstall it instead of double clicking on the install file right click it and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
    2. Then click "Try Recommended Settings" and in the next window click "Start the Program" to install it.
    3. After it installs see if it works correctly. Please note - some programs may not be able to run in Windows 7.
