Hi Hahn,
Please do not let the Aol account fool you...I have many computers, operate MAC, Windows and Unix systems fluently and learn new software very often.
I have had a similar problem with your software before, about 6 months ago, fixed it by running the program as an Administrator and in Compatibility mode. After I was able to recover the software, I went to my Settings and chose to NOT have Automatic Updates.
That worked until a few weeks ago when my computer tried to Automatically Update again. This time, when I tried to turn off Automatic Updates again, I was not allowed to so I chose to Pause Updates for 30 days.
This also did NOT work and "my" computer was forced to update a day later...leading to my current state of HELL.
I am in the middle of a job that has 54 locations to visit over 5 days (let's see Bing orchestrate that). Everything was lined up nicely until Microsoft took over my computer and virtually erased all of my hard work. This has led to embarrassment, loss of money, loss of a client and loss of sleep.
To be clear, I have been running Microsoft Streets and Trips for 20 years and have, since 2013 (or there about), successfully run the program on Windows 10 (the current operating system on the pertinent computer). If I do as you say, partition my computer and run Windows 8, I have exactly ZERO confidence that this will work without running into the same issue.
Do I or do I not have a right to repair?
Please give me the access code or key or instructions to have your program run again on my computer, on Windows 10, as it did prior to your FORCED Automatic Update last week.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon...with a solution.
Thank you,
john
