I've found that some programs (games and disk management stuff usually)
will *not* run in XP, however, for a few I've found that if you run BOTH
the install AND the program under compatibility mode you can make some
work. The kicker is that one or two may - even though they work most of
the time - once in awhile quit for no apparent reason without warning or
error messages. Save often until you trust it. I believe it has to do in
a large part with NTFS file system and permissions.
