Compatibility of old(ish) Software with Windows 7

[Lise Bible]

I'm on Frame 8, which is only slightly newer than Carrie (who originally
asked the question, and is on Frame 7), and am using it with no problems*
on Windows 7, 64-bit.
*once I got it fully patched, as the re-install was from the original Frame
8 disk (I went from an XP machine to new Win 7 machine).
Note: if you are moving to a new machine, and re-installing the same
software, on your old machine, open Frame, and deactivate it before
installing it on your new machine (Help>Deactivate).

Sorry, I have no tips or tricks about what other software runs on Win 7 vs
XP, just figured I'd chime in about using an older version of Frame on Win
7.

Thanks,
Lise
