Try accessing Services to see if the ACT7 instance is running for SQL Server.

Easiest way is to type services.msc in the search bar. Scroll down to find SQL Server (ACT7)

You should use the Restore (Restore As) option from an Act backup.

If you want to move the database from one computer to another, use the Move option.

I did the restore as and I have this error message.

The MOVE option where is it ?

Also under the File menu.

When I do this I have warning message saiying database will lock...... and will be avalaible only when import to the other computer....

I think this article covers the Move process.
