The secret is to copy the installed program across from the 32 bit system instead of installing it.
64 bit systems can run 32 bit apps, but if (as some do) they come with a 16 bit installer, that prevents them being installed even though they would run. The only issue being related to the fact that all of my Vista/7/8 OSs are 圆4 and XP x86. None of my old software (some of it very old) fails to run fine on W7. I haven't actually used XP to do anything other than its own housework for probably over five years. I still can't regard W8 as much more than a phone OS masquerading as a proper grown-up system, fitting ill on a pair of large monitors.
In truth I use W7 all the time and all the other OSs only ever got booted to update the MS security patches. That and an ATi graphics/TV card caused me to dual-boot Vista/XP in the first place over six years ago, though since updating to my latest hardware, I've abandoned both and dropped from a quad-boot to a simple W7/8.1 dual boot and am currently awaiting delivery of a new Dell C1765nfw all in one wireless laser printer/scanner/fax, which will service the PC, tablet and the network enabled home theatre. I have a 100% serviceable set of HP hardware (printer and scanner) which I used on XP and for which they utterly declined to provide Vista drivers. I'll keep reading and re-reading, trying to better understand this problem. I do like having quick access to the old drive via 8.1 on the new PC. I also have some old programs on the XP disk which I'll try to set up on the 8.1 OS, hoping they'll continue to work and assuming I can still find the original setup disks for them. Though I'd prefer to print via the new PC, I may simply have to use it with an old XP laptop when I need it.
The c1765nfw multifunction color printer adds versatility and value to your office. The dell printer does not appear on the list of airprint compatible devices, so printing from an iphone, ipad, etc will not work with your printer as things stand now. I've searched in vain for a driver or a workaround for it. Dell c1765nfw all-in-one yesterday, driver windows 7 64 bit. When I step back and look at this, one of the main goals for me is to keep my perfectly good hp laserjet 1000 series printer available to use.

As you can see I still don't have a clear understanding of this problem. Does IDE mode mean it's emulating an IDE connection? Since it is a SATA connection I'm confused about this, especially given that XP worked fine on the old machine.
