Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

If your version of Windows 7 is 64 bit then P3 will not run, you will have to set up a virtual machine and instal P3 on that, click on Start\Programs and scroll down to virtual machine and follow the instructions

Sajid,

 

There are two versions of Windows 7; one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit.  P3 loads and runs fine on a 32-bit Windows 7 machine.  To run P3 on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer is a much more difficult process.  If you use the 32-bit Windows 7, you should not have any problems.  Good luck!
