Windows 7 to XP?
Help!
Grand Father has been sold a Dell Inspiron 570 with Windows 7 on it, he has spent 3 months muddling by with it whilst I was in the UK but of course it won't run most of his XP programs... despite Dell telling him it would. They now say he chose Windows 7 so tough and nothing they can do.
I have tried using the compatibility mode to no effect on most of them. Can't download the virtual XP as that's only good for Professional or above.
Attempted to do a clean XP install using genuine disk but as soon as it tries to reboot it goes to a blue screen stop message - apparently due to newly installed devices or software.
Tempted to get another HDD and try using that to install XP on but before I spend the $$$ open to (helpful) suggestions.
