download vmware, create a virtual PC and install XP on that.
or wait for windows7 (unless you like the classic start menu)

That's a good idea Xac, or else if you don't want to play with vmware, give the Microsoft Virtual Machine a whirl. It too is a free download but do make sure you get the Vista one.Xac wrote:download vmware, create a virtual PC and install XP on that.

I use the Microsoft Virtual Machine to run an old copy of Citroen Laser under Win98 and it works a treat.
Whether or not Lexia will work in an VM depends on how well it speaks to the Windows APIs. If it does any tricks like bypassing the APIs and speaks directly to hardware than the VM may not work. Worth a go though.

If you are having trouble installing then go to computer, open the cd and right click the setup/install program. Choose properties, then the compatibility tab.
Tick the box in compatibility mode and choose an operating system.
If the installer now works, or you already have done this part, you can do the same thing on the actual program stored on your harddisk. Probably in the c drive, under Program Files(x86).
This sometimes gets older programs working on newer systems. Sometimes I've had to choose the widnows 98 option, but usualy XP works.

Depends on your system really.steelcityuk wrote:Sorry to question your actions but why 'uprate' the laptop to Vista, isn't it slower now than under XP?
Just curious.
Steve.
If you've got a low end Vista system, then XP will be faster in general, but if you've got a decent Vista system it should be on a par with XP and if you use the "benefits" of Vista it's of course better.

Well, um, er, there's a nice rolodex thing to switch between open applications, there's the preview popup in the taskbar, er, oh yes, home premium and ultimate have media centre built in, both business and ultimate can join domains, you can easily stream media from one computer to another which is why I have my old cracked screen laptop plugged into my TV downstairs to watch the movies I've got on my PC upstairs, it still has the classic start menu which is one thing it beats Windows 7 on.CitroJim wrote:And what precisely are the "benefits" of Vista XacXac wrote:the "benefits" of Vista it's of course better.
