Firstly, have you try operating your app through the Windows 2000 compatibility mode? Right -click on the app and pick properties then work this in compatibility mode. Does your app work with XP? If so you be able to test out the Windows XP mode via your PC. You must get much good result than the Sunbox

Thanks for the reply. I have utilize Windows 2000 compatibility mode no success . These former app won't work below Windows 7 in any mode. . XP compatibility mode requirement a higher grade of Windows 7 than I have got. I think it has other requirements I couldn't assemble. I find out it . And there's no confidence this former app would work in the XP anyhow. You didn't talk about it, still I utillize the MSFT's virtual machine and it require hardware I don't have and can't get I'd have to determine an totally fresh pc

I am made the Windows 2000 drive to make utilize of an former film scanner. Windows 7 is antecedently on the begin hard drive. What would happen if i detach the Windows 7 hard repel and make the Windows 2000 hard drive alone. And after completing this join the Windows 7 hard drive back .
