Hi all,
Until fairly recently I used XP but have since moved upto Win 7 Ultimate 64. My problem is that I have a CAD programme which wont run in Win 7. I have dual boot on my machine so I can still use it but that is the only time I bother to boot in XP as I find it a bit of a pain having to do so. My question is, is there a way to use older apps on newer OS's with any kind of trick or tweak? I have asked the software provider but all they suggest is buy the latest version which is no great surprise. I can and would do this but trouble is I vastly prefer the old version that I already have as I am used to its layout and the way it works.
Any help greatly appreciated
