Windows 7 does have an
XP mode with Professional and up. I don't know how well it would work with the apps that are XP only, but may be a solution.
And, as we've discovered here, sometimes Win7 will tell you "it won't work", but if you ignore the warning message and run it anyway, it works fine.
Oh, and there's always the normal "compatibility mode" settings. Navigate in the Windows Explorer (not Internet explorer) to the location where your executable is. Right-click on the .exe file, and select "properties." In the dialog box that pops up, there's a "Compatibility" tab. Select that, and toggle on the "Run this program in compatibility mode for".
The XP mode stuff detailed in the above link may not be necessary, at all.
