I would like to thank everyone for their input on my problem. I ended up i=
nstalling Virtual XP which will solve my problem. I can now run the progra=
m and open my old drawings. I also installed CadStd which looks like a goo=
d program, basic but gives me what I want. Some of the other programs reco=
mmended to me were either not Windows 7 compatible or not free as suggested=
. If anyone has any old programs which will not run on the newer Windows I=
would recommend the Virtual XP. It is a free way to use old software inst=
ead of buying upgrades or in my case where there was no alternative.

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Drafting Program
Ronald - Did you try the program on the new computer? I use several program=
s from XP that are not listed as Windows 7 compatible on my new Win 7 Home =
Premium 64 computer. One has no issues at all. Fireworks MX
2004 switches the screen display to eliminate all the fancy screen stuff, b=
ut everything goes back once I close the program. Dreamweaver MX
2004 works fine for everything I do at home. At work, I can't use it becaus=
e it has to be run as an administrator and looses network drives.
My recommendation it to give the current program a test and see if it still=
works.
