The last machine (and the one before) ran this with no difficulty, but from the start with this machine it was always a hit and miss affair if the programme would open and generally only from starting the computer cold. We've since uninstalled and attempted to reinstall from the disc, but it will have none of it - so there I suspect lies the problem. We run Vista and want/may need to update and some stage to W7; in any respect I think it is a software issue now and the current machine has no difficulty running larger programmes without problem. Kerrching at the shop till time, methinks.
