    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Hi Fritz,



    The above issue might occur due to incompatibility of the program with the update installed on the computer.



    Before we assist further, which is the “older program” you are referring to in the above description?



    I suggest you to install the program in Compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



    Compatibility mode runs the program in the current version of Windows using the settings from previous version of Windows.



    Step 1: Install the device drivers manually in
    Compatibility mode.

      Properties from the context menu.

    • Click on the compatibility tab, check the box
      Run this program in compatibility mode for, select Windows 8.1/7 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.

    • After the installation is complete, restart the computer and check if the changes are effective.


    Step 2: You can also follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.




    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard and type
      Run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

    • Select the top most search result and follow from
      step 2
      from the article Make older programs compatible with this version of
      Windows
      (Also applies to Windows 10).

    • Check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the answer to the above questions and the status of compatibility of the older program installed on the computer in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.
