This software is to old and not Windows 7 compatible.

Please use the XPMode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) to run this old software.

    Hello shannkarmotwani,

    Windows XP mode only works on Windows 7 version Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise. If you are running Windows 7 Home Premium you will need to search for 3rd party virtual software.

    You can try programs such as VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com) and install a separate copy of Windows XP (either Home Edition or Professional) for that purpose. You can find virtualization software free of charge that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps.

    Sincerely,

    Marilyn
