When my XP SP3 system crashed I was advised that I could install my older programs over Win. 7 Pro by selecting compatibility mode for XP SP3, but this is not working out. I just purchased a refurbished Latitutde E6510 for this purpose but it won't allow me to install PhotoShop 7 or PageMaker 6.5 even in compatibility mode for XP.
Is there any way that I can backwards install Win XP SP3 over the Win 7 pro OS or maybe do a duel installation? I can't afford to upgrade these programs so they can run in Win. 7 Pro.
Please advise what solution I can try and if the software for this laptop would be available here if this is a doable option.
Thank you.
