[Ham-Computers] Assistance With CDS And Win 7

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All,

My grandson has a new computer operating under Windows 7. He is experiencing 
a lot of problems when he tries to run programs on CD that worked with his 
XP Home Edition operating system.

Maybe I heard, or understood, this wrong, but I thought that Win 7.0 was 
retrocompatible to at least XP HE/Pro and possibly Windows 98 SE? Wrong? Or?

I also understood that the new OS would work with older software that Vista 
would not. Correct? Or?

So my friends, how does the grandson make the CD for XP, or older, work with 
Win 7.0?

Thanks guys!
