Hi, I find this solution somewhat too radical : when installing older software versions on newer OS, you never know what happens : the older application may not recognize newer version of some Window files and replace it with older ones, so this isn't something I'd consider at the beginning.
PDF virtual printers appears like other ordinary printers under Window XP. So click on the start menu and under the Parameter item, you'll find the printers list. Once there, right clic on your pdf printer and choose "properties" in the contextual menu. What you find then, depends on your pdf virtual driver, but there ought be a way to change resolution or printer size from there. I have a pdf writer named "Cute PDF Writer" which is freeware (http://www.cutepdf.com/products/CutePDF/writer.asp). It allows huge sizes up to A0 and even bigger format in inches, it does also allow changing the resolution, but I've never tested printing bigger than A4 and I'm still using MIP 7.5.
