Why I can not install my copy of Quark Express 5 in Windows 7?

I try to install my old copy of QuarkXpress 5 on my new computer with Windows 7. The installation is very slow getting started and if it does not start, nothing happens. I'm assuming that Windows 7 does not like some legacy software.

Hello GPW4YSP,

If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

Use the following steps:

(1) right click on the program

2) click Properties

3) click on the Compatibility tab

(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

Thank you
