Hi ,

I am new to this site but I know if you Have Windows 7 Professional you can download a virtual machine and a image file from microsoft that allows you to run xp system in windows 7 . I have windows 7 Ultimate and have found most programs run in xp compatibility mode and run as administrator . You can go in "control pannel" , "user accounts" , "Change user account settings" and change your user control setting never notify and all programs will run without windows 7 certifation . I hope this maybe help you .
