There is a way to run your old software. The first thing to try is to 
bring up the properties box on the shortcut you launch the program 
from by mouse right click.. selecting it, and then left click to 
bring up the context menu, and choose Properties. Then click on the 
compatibility tab and put a check in Run this program in 
compatibility mode for, and select XP  then push apply. Try and 
launch the program.

I have an old version of Chessmaster... I prefer it to newer 
versions... that was purchased in he nineties and will not run in a 
64 bit operating system so I run it in a virtual XP window. I suggest 
you go here 
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode 
and download and install MS XP MODE. This is free to Windows 7 Pro 
and Ultimate users and will allow you to run 32 bit XP virtually 
within Windows 7 PRO 64 bit where you can install your 32 bit app. It 
was offered by Microsoft to help business who had to run proprietary 
software. This allowed them to run the apps they had always run 
within a more secure OS. Good luck.
