I just upgraded my mom's computer to Windows 7 from XP. She is 74 years old and does not do change well so I had to be sure all the programs she was used to using worked in Windows 7.

None of them worked in Windows 7 Home Premium they all worked in Windows 7 Professional. Keep in mind these were very old programs like Microsoft Works 4.5, Office 97, Printshop 10, etc...

Like I said she really doesn't do change well but Windows 7 Professional ran everything flawlessly.

hmm, that shouldn't be the case, there is nothing in home premium that would cause apps that work on proffesional not to work.

was home premium 64bit and proffesional 32bit? that is only logical explanation why you might have had issues.
