My classic version of jump start kindergarten (98/95/3.1) wont autorun/install on windows 7? says that a file is missing, incompatible with 64-bit...

Maby it's just incompatible with your version of windows. Try locating the exe file on your computer then right clicking it an selecting properties then go to compatibility and check run this program in compatibility for an select the version on windows it last worked on. Of you don't know just keep choosing different versions of windows until it works . Or you could just run the compatibility troubleshoot program built in to windows. I am using windows 8.1 so thing might be different for you.

Your application software is incompatible with the Operating system of your computer. What can you do?
You can buy a newer version of the application software made for the current OS of your computer.
You can find an old computer that runs on an OS compatible with your application.
In certain cases you can try to run the application in a DOS box.
You may install a virtualization software (Virtual PC, VMware) on your computer and install an older version of the Windows OS inside the virtual box so that you can keep enjoy you favorite program. But is this the solution for you?

It sounds like you are attempting to upgrade to windows 7 within an earlier version of Windows, and are having an issue with the earlier version missing files. The Autorun.dll file belongs to a component within windows responsible for automatically launching a program from a CD, once the disc is inserted.
My suggestion would be to back up all your files to a disk, boot with the Windows 7 CD, and perform a clean re-install (completely removing the previous version). You may be required to provide the CD product key belonging to the older version of windows you have, as well as the key for the Windows 7 disk. Or you could attempt to locate the disk you used for installing the previous version of windows you possess, and using the "repair" option. in both cases though, make sure you back up your files!

Right click on the EXE file that will start the application and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab and check the Windows version you know the program worked with before. You can find more about this Compatibility issue on Microsoft website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

hi This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities
1. File is corrupt, bad, or missing
2. File is not designed for your version of Windows.

3. File is a virus, worm, or other malware file
4. Hardware incompatibility
i suspect your problem to be /2or4 .silly question does it give your particular windows as one of the designates for your program.if there is hard ware incompatability you could try if you have vista orwindows7 to make you program compatable. hope this helps.

When a ‘clean’ install is done of Print Shop 22, exactly as described in this FAQ

'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7

Print Shop 22 should install on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, with two incidents.

1. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not already installed on the computer, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display this message
this program has know compatibility issues


To continue with the installation, select "Run Program". After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the necessary updates will be pulled from the Microsoft Windows Update Service.

2. After .NET Framework 1.1 is installed, the "Program Compatibility Assistant” in Windows 7 will display a message which says that there are compatibility issues with Print Shop 22 on Windows 7 64-bit. To continue with the installation of .NET Framework 1.1, select "Run Program".

NOTE: Even though the Print Shop 22 Vista patch, which can be found here

Download Vista Patch For The Print Shop 22 and PrintMaster 17 Disk Versions

can be installed on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, the patch will not fix the problem with the Amyuni Document Converter, as it does on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 (see above). So, it will not be possible to use the 'Save As PDF' option with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Instead, it will be necessary to install an alternate PDF driver, then Print to PDF, as is described in this FAQ

Save as PDF vs File | Print to PDF

So far, the only other known incompatibility with Print Shop 22 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 is that Print Shop 22 cannot be run from a shortcut on the Dell Dock that is provided with many Dell computers. A Print Shop 22 shortcut can be placed on the Dell Dock; but, attempts to start Print Shop 22 from that Dell Dock shortcut will cause several incompatibility messages to be displayed
