How to install an XP/Vista program on Windows 7 First of all locate the setup or installer file, this will be either in the contents of a CD/DVD (you have to explore the contents of the CD/DVD) under the name 'setup' or a downloaded. At first i was weary about programs not installing because of compatibility problems but the procedure to either install a program or get it running when installed is relatively simple and is the same way that Vista uses. I was glad i did because Windows 7 is being welcomed with very open arms, people are upgrading so i need to know my may around the operating system. In October of this year I was so impressed with Windows 7 I went out and bought Windows 7 Ultimate.
Before Windows 7 was released to the public Microsoft said in a statement that 'Any program that works on Windows Vista will certainly work on Windows 7' Microsoft has certainly delivered their promise and much, much more!!! I tested both the beta and the RC (release candidate) editions of Windows 7. Their concerns were mainly because of Vista not running very well and they thought that they may be in for some of the same type of compatibility problems that Vista had. Since the release of Windows 7 many of my clients have been asking me about program compatibility and which programs will run on Microsoft's new operating system.
