Hi, One 'work around' which I've used with Vista (32) is to create a separate 'boot' for Windows XP. It requires having an XP system disk, but once it's installed, at startup, you can choose which operating system you want to run. It's cumbersome, but it allows one to run some important legacy programmes (or to live happily in the past!).
