P.S.

The problem most likely that it is not Windows 7 64-bit compatible. I
finally located some documentation and it states:

SofType for TouchScreens is an excellent tool
for any touchscreen application. It operates
under Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP.

It does not state it is compatible with Windows 7 either 32-bit or
64-bit. You need to contact the Orin comapny for assistance.
