Serious Application Problems
The Lenovo G550 Notebook I was given for Christmas came loaded with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and, despite MS claims to the contrary, it will not properly run my existing applications, all of which are 32-bit.
Those that will load and run quickly hang, requiring continual rebooting. Others, some of which were orginally quite expensive, will not even start despite whatever settings (if any) the Windows Compatibility Checker recommends.
Microsoft's Anytime Upgrade Program does not offer a 32-bit option as a replacement. Meanwhile, as I am living on a limited fixed income, there is no way I could possibly afford a full 32-bit version.
Upgrade does include a Home Premium 64 to Professional 64 at $90, for me quite a significant amount to risk on the possibility that the problem will still not be resolved.
Any assistance would be welcome and most appreciated.
TIA
