    Having trouble with downloading Track Drawing Software

    Are you trying to start it from a shortcut created during install? If so maybe the location was corrupted, so try starting from the Start -> Programs menu. If this doesn't work, Go directly to Right Track folder and double the icon to start it. Hope one of those will help
