Csnnot open mathcad 2000i using
The program Mathsoft mathcad 2001i will not run on windows 7 system. If your Windows 7 is Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Professional, you can try with the Compatibility Mode but I can't guarantee you since it depends on the system and most of all the installed programs.
If the Mathsoft is on a CD, first of all, copy all the files on your computer and save them as a folder. Open the folder, locate "Setup.exe" or the installer file, right-click it, select "Properties", now on the properties window click "Compatibility" tab, on the compatibility tab, select "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then select "Windows XP Service Pack 2" from the options, select "Turn off advanced text features for this program", click "Apply" and then "Ok", now try installing the program, if it's successful, you are done, but if it's not, I have no idea, you only option is to contact the manufacturer (in your case Mathsoft) and get their help, perhaps they might have a patch or other hot-fixes to somehow run this.
If it's already saved on your computer, do the same procedures as mentioned above after locating the "Setup.exe" file.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
