I don't know whether that old software will have a problem with drivers on
WinXP or not. As for compatibility mode, that applies to the program
executable itself. It changes settings under WinXP to match the
configuration of a previous OS. It works for many old programs, but not all.
To set compatibility mode, find the executable and right-click for the
"properties". You will see a "compatibilty" tab. The settings should be
obvious. Click on the link at the bottom for more help.
If the program consists of more than one executable, you may have to set
compatibility mode for some or all of them. Trying it is the only way to
know.
I had an old program that worked ok in compatibility mode, except for one
function. That function was critical, however. I had to buy a newer version
afterall.
Good luck.
