Rosetta Stone Version 2 won't run
I own Rosetta Stone version 2 software and still have the original disks (2 disks, one to install, one to run). When I first bought it years ago I was able to install and run it just fine on XP and later, Vista.
Now I'm trying to use it on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I installed it successfully (from what I can tell) from the application disk, but the software does not run. When I open up the installed desktop shortcut (as administrator), or go into the run disk and open the .exe (as administrator), I get no reaction. It opens up 3 processes in task manager, but they last only about 2 seconds and no application is opened. This repeats exactly the same every time I try to run the .exe. If I DON'T run as admin, I instead get an autorun launcher that tells me I need to run with elevated permissions when I click its run button.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Ran as administrator. Only change was the autorun launcher didn't open.
2. I ran in all of the available compatibility modes for legacy OS's. I got the same results as described above for each one.
That's all so far...any ideas?
