Here's a possible solution. Have you tried to install it in "Compatibility Mode" see here:
Make older programs run in this version of Windows Another idea would be to set up VM Ware and install XP on a virtual PC. Then load your software on that. I have done this to use an older scanner that there are no drivers for Windows 7. Works well! |

I went down the virtual machine route as i had the scanner and an old Desk Top publishing softawre that was built for Windows 95 which I didn't even bother to try in compatibility mode as others had tried and failed. Works perfectly in my Win XP on the virtual machine though. Happy to give you a run down on VM if you wish! If your software worked in Win XP before I am 99.9% certain it will work as is on the Virtual Machine with XP installed!
