When trying to install some new applications on my Windows 7 machine, some applications will not install saying this software is not for a computer running Windows XP. I am not running XP I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. It is a legal copy and activated.
Where should I look and what should I do to correct this situation? An example, I was trying to install Windows Live Mail 2012 but it does not and instead installs Windows Mail 2009. Another example, when I search on the Microsoft website, it always warns me that XP is no longer supported. Final example, I tried downloading/installing some HP software for my scanner a warning sign said this software is not made for Windows XP. I have looked around the registry but to no avail.
Again, what is telling this software and Microsoft's website that I am running XP when actually I am running Windows 7 Home Premium???????????????????
Thanks
