Problem running Qt apps in XP-Pro

G

Guest

I recently bought a used Fujitsu p-2110 computer with a Transmeta Crusoe
processor. It is very small laptop (about 2.5 pounds, 10" by 7"), running an
XP-Pro OS.

I installed several applications without difficulty which run with no problem.

My problem is that I have 2 freeware applications, Quackle
(www.quackle.org), and Zyzzyva (www.zyzzyva.net), which apparently download,
but when I try to run them, I get the ubiquitious message about sorry for the
inconvenience but this program must be terminated, or however that reads.
Other users have run them without difficulty on XP-Pro. I have run them
without difficulty on 2 other computers, both of which have XP Home Edition.
The programs used to play or study Scrabble.

Both programs were written using Qt (I'm not knowledgeable, but I think I
understand that this is an application which compiles code so that it runs on
a variety of operating systems).

Having bought the computer used, I'm wondering if there is some setting in
either the computer of in XP-Pro the previous user might have changed which
would cause my trouble in running these programs.

Thanks,
Ben

My first question would actually be, is there something in these apps which
is incompatible with the transmeta crusoe chip
