We have Small Business Accounting 2006 and you have upgraded to our computer systems for Windows 7.  Now we find that they are not compatible.  The SBA 2006 is related to our software.  WE must have this compatible.

Hello MarthaFry,

SBA 2006 is not compatible with Windows 7. However, you didn't say what version of Windows 7 you are using. For example, Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and ultimate edition have the option to download Windows XP mode. This installs a copy of XP on your machine (in Windows 7) that allows you to install the accounting software in a Windows XP environment. That might solve your problem.

If not have you tried to install SBA in compatibility mode for Windows Vista? Try to right click on the file setup.exe (or install.exe) SBA and selecting Properties. In the properties box, click the tab compatibility Place a checkmark (tick) in the box to the left of the "run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select Windows Vista from the dialog box just below this option. You will need to click on the arrow to the right of this box to display all operating systems.

Click Ok, and then click the file setup.exe (install.exe) to start the installation.
