Hi Sandi, Win7 has a feature that allows it to be seen by most apps as though they were installed on a WinXP system. This is a new function that I have yet to take for a spin, so I cannot comment on how well it works other than to say that others have found very little not to like. This doesn't mean that it'll work for the app you wish to run, so perhaps a multi-boot is your best option until you know for sure. I would definitely ask the others whether or not they tried it when they installed the app on Win7, though. If all of them answer 'No', you'll have a choice to make. :) Peace, Gman http://www.thevenusproject.com/index.php "The entire future of humankind is yet to be written" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandi Beach" <sandib2@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 6:14 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Loading NEW Computer - Acronis. > G, reading through your replies, I see you plan to keep XP when you > install > Win 7and also have Ubuntu.
