The software is designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows XP? Most older programs don't work with Windows 7, in particular some programs for Windows XP, can you need to perhaps upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition if you run not an edition and download the Windows XP Mode free program which will allow you run old programs:

Run in Windows XP Mode requires:

(1) Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise (not supported in Home Premium).
