That is the best you can do. If your app didn't run in Win XP, then it will not run in Win 7 XP Mode as well.<br /><br />Have you tried "compatibility mode" in XP? Right-click the .exe file (after it has been installed) and choose Properties, Compatibility, Run as... Win 95 or Win 98. This trick has made miracles for me, I have been able to run very old apps, as long as they install (some will not even install under Win XP so the compatibility mode is no good).

It seems that Win7 is compatible with older programmes. I would like that DutchEnglish dictionary working again as well as Kluwer's car specifications. Both date from 1998. Under 2000,XP and Vista Ultimate, there is no way I can get these programs working.
