    Most Xp software will run fine with Win 7, what particular software are you having issues with?

    You could always run a virtual machine with XP running inside it but you would need a full retail license of XP. The alternative is to upgrade to Win 7 Pro or above (obviously at a cost) where you'll be able to do the above with a free download from MS.

    It has to be Retail not OEM bob, but before we go into the process of setting up a VM, tell us what software you're having an issue with. There may be better and easier ways to solve the problem.
