Running Legacy Application

[sparker781]

Currently running Windows 7 Ultimate. I am trying to run a legacy application made for XP, right clicked on the installer and checked off to run in compatibility mode however after trying to install the application, I was met with several different error messages pertaining to missing dll's etc. Am I missing something here?

Any Assistance is appreciated

How about XP mode
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

I just was reading up on this. Sadly my PC doesn't support Hardware Virtualization. The update they have on the site to remove the requirement wont allow me to install either. I guess a VMware setup is needed at this point

Maybe the easiest way to go, shame you cant run XP mode as you have ultimate

Sorry if it seems obvious, but did you enable it in the bios?

I just installed xp mode on my new build to run and old program and it works fairly well,

I had to go into bios to enable it.
