Cannot Get Microstudio to run on my net book

[JoEvil]

I am a long time (maybe 10 years?) user of Microstudio and have always loved it!

I have downloaded MS423 on my Lenovo netbook but I cannot get it to run. It seems to install fine, and when I click on the shortcut, the .exe file, or try to run it from "run." I say yes for permissin to run, and it just stops. I have Windows 7 and no CD Rom drive (but I have a portable USB drive I will use for this computer for my music). Ms runs fine on my desk computer, but I can't get the netbook to work. The reason for putting it on the netbook (when it has no disc drive) is because I am taking that home in April (via plane), so we can sing songs with my mom (and she doesn't have to go to a karaoke bar).

I did not find this problem in the forums (please let me know if it has been addressed and I missed it.

I am thinking I am missing something. I turned off autoplay (I do not have an autorun). Suggestions please.
