    Each software pack comes with it's own system requirement details. If a software is meant to run only on Windows XP; then it may not run on Windows 7. But as far as I know, Windows 7 can smoothly run most of the Windows XP programs. There were a few software that broke on Win 7; but most did well.

    Do you have problems running any particular software on Win7? Let us know.

    If it doesn't works run the software or program in compatibility mode👍😉

    If you are still not able to run those programs which are made for xp but unable to work on win7 then there is nothing much you can do apart from the long procedure of virtualization and stuff. This happens mainly because of the OS framework which was changed while transitioning from WinXp to Win7

    well @#-Link-Snipped-# .Good to see you after a long time on CE .I don't know which software you are trying to run on win7 ,it would be good if you would give us the specifications.By the way what about VIMware installation on win7 if you want to use winxp softwares ?

    Is this question regarding installation of SQL/database software on win7 or turbo-c for CG pracs 😘?
    hmmmm!😛

    First, try to run in compatibility mode, most of the programs would do fine, if it doesn't then the best option is to have a virtual machine but remember, allocate the RAM wisely.

    Rest all things would work fine.

    It would be good if you can mention the program you want to run.

    If it's like some compiler for C/C++ or something, then use Code Blocks instead..

    It's really great.
