Windows 7 Version V16 isnt licensed to work with Windows 7. However, there is a fix that should work. 1) Once installed, run a compatibility check on the executable file C:\Program Files\SPSSInc\SPSS16\spss.exe, the PC should recognise that it isnt compatible and suggest running it as an XP program. Accept the default values. 2) Running in this mode the package runs adequately, but be aware any analysis will be very slow.
