    Hi Josh,

    The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows. Therefore, we recommend that you troubleshoot these issues by focusing on device drivers, on device configuration issues, and on hardware compatibility issues.

    Here’s what you can try:

    Go to the computer manufacturer’s website and install the latest drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windowshttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows

    Please get back to us with the status of the issue.
