Windows 7 Home Premium

Hey all,

I recently bought a new computer that has Windows 7 Home Premium on it.  I downloaded SolidWorks 12 and it worked great for about a month.  Now when I try to open it, the program does not run.  I went to the IT department here at my school and they said the only way to fix it would be to comlpetley wipe my computer and put a different OS on it.  Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions as to why it doesn't work on Windows7 Home Premium and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Tim
