Programs work when installed then don't work the next time I try
I'm not sure where this should be posted so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.
I am a newbie to Windows 7 and don't know it I have a problem with my computer or just a lack of knowledge of Windows 7
I just purchased a 64 bit window 7 with the professional upgrade. I am using an Intel core 7 chip on a gigabyte motherboard with 12 gigs of memory. (more info if necessary).
I have installed my most used programs without issues (they were win 7 compatible). I have tried to install 2 program the were listed on the MS compatability list, one was Samsung PC studio for my cell phone and the other was Dacal CD Library 4.0 for my CD library on my CD Carousel.
They both installed with out incident and both ran fine the first time I used them.
I spent hours re-cataloguing my CDs..saved and backed up everything and the next time I tried to run CD Library nothing happened. I tried several methods to running it including setting the compatibly to XR or Vista. NOTHING worked. Even tried to uninstall and reinstalled it and still nothing would never run after the first time.
The same thing happed with Samsung PC Studio. Worked fine the first time and the next day the same thing; wouldn’t load…nothing nada.
I have tried to install other programs that weren’t Win 7 compatible and my computer would pop up tell me this program is not compatible with windows 7 and prevent me from continuing. So I am assuming if a program installs and works, it should be compatible and will work the next time I try to use it.
Sorry about being so wordy, but does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
