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!
