Win7 brings lots of new things, but one of the costs is that the drivers needed to talk to devices like the PJB-100 are no longer usable.

The software to manage the PJB-100 still runs but the lack of a current driver makes it useless.

So is there a potential for an end run, where a Win7 driver acts as a sandbox for an earlier Windows version's driver?

If it's Windows 7 Pro or above, it should allow you to download XP mode from here:
