    Throw your xp machine away an install Windows xp mode on your windows 7 box.
    Then you have 1 computer that will run everything.

    Its FREE....

    Windows 7 has several built-in tools to help with program compatibility and Windows XP programs should be installed directly on Windows 7. Windows XP Mode runs many older Windows XP productivity programs and that are not natively compatible with Windows 7, thus helping realize cost savings and reduce possible operational downtime by extending the life of existing software.

    Thanks for the link i will have a go. its just downloading now

      Would this be suitable to run with Windows Vista or is there a similar program?

              Nice velvet headlining out but the biscuit has dropped
              Supposed to be hels on by 3 strips
              Front much better but more to do
              Rear screen and both side screens have to come out

                  Thanks, i'm happy with it, there maybe more when more gets stripped out/off the car so I might be asking him to come back yet.
                  Spent all day on it and I even managed to break his guage when the gas bottle fell over as I was moving it., bit clumsy of me there then.
                  Both sills had been crushed in various places due to idiots using jacks under them, I managed to straighten them out so they will just need to be undersealed now.
                  After the rear screens are out I indend to remove the engine/gearbox etc to assess the work needed on the front and rear frames, front shocks/springs, steering rack etc. The frames look rusty and the bushes look on their last legs but I have replacements about somewhere.

                        Was working not too far from Ed today so I popped down to see him and pick up my parts that i'd bought from him earlier in the month.
                        While there I bought nearly all of his parts as he wanted to get rid. Many new and some secondhand parts were bought.
                        Most will go on the digidash, the last picture is a tease as I now have a new set of rear quarter windows and trim.
                        Thanks Ed

                              I see what you did there Ray
                              On another note as Mal didn't know, what side trim and window did I give you as I now have the other side spare and i'll put a set aside for you?
