Q:
Older Program Compatibility CAD
CAD software, Legacy applications, Software conflicts
I have a 1997 CAD program that is fine with XP, but with my new computer and Vista, when I select "FILE", "SAVE", the program simply exits!!?? I have the compatibility set to Windows 97 SP. In all other respects, the program functions correctly. Someone advised, in answer to this previously, that I should run another program that essentially fakes-out Vista. I wrote down the name of the program, but lost it and the answer provided is no longer linked to my original inquiry.

You could create a "virtual machine" that runs an older version of the Windows OS on your Vista machine (I've got a Win2000 VM that I use to run Win95 and Win98 programs on my WinXP machine)

Check here:

For another option as well as a detailed explination of VM's
