From: Bobby Johnson on 12 Jan 2010 05:37 There is absolutely no one in this group that can address your situation. The people participating in the discussions are not Microsoft employees; we're just customers like you. You need to contact your Microsoft representative that you get your software and support through.

Help......!!!!! ep91701(a)hotmail.cm or ep91701(a)yahoo.com. Thanks Why? How many 64-bit XP programs do you have? For 32-bit programs the freely downloadable XP mode works great and you can put the icons right on your desktop alongside the Win 7 icons. Tom Lake
