Hello, I have been searching for a long time to know how to get 32-bit software compatible with XP to work on 64-bit W7

like: EnvPrint for example, because the W7 assistant doesn't solve anything

I can't find the solution

thank you for your help

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 22.0

    If the XP compatibility mode in Seven doesn't work, you can still try virtualization by downloading Virtual PC or VirtualBox:

    https://www.commentcamarche.net/informatique/windows/169-32-bits-ou-64-bits-comment-savoir/#logiciel-32-bit-sur-windows-64-bit

    Virtual PC is a 32-bit Windows XP (the 64-bit mode does not exist)

    Restriction: you must have a Windows Seven (32 or 64 bits) "Pro", "Enterprise", or "Ultimate Edition"... only.

      Yes, I am on seven pro 64 bits, I downloaded virtual pc + xp mode, but I don't know how to use it, I don't even know if I created a virtual hard drive




      I read this


      Installing a program in Windows XP Mode
      Click the Close button Image of the Close button at the top of the Windows XP Mode window.
      In Windows 7, click the Start button Image of the Start button, on Windows Virtual PC, on Windows XP Mode Applications, and then on the program you want to open.
      Note

      If the Windows XP Mode window is open when you try to launch a program in Windows XP Mode from Windows 7, you are prompted to close the virtual machine. Be sure to save any data you want to keep in Windows XP Mode before closing it.

      But I do not have: Windows XP Mode Applications

      I managed to do this

      Click the Close button Image of the Close button at the top of the Windows XP Mode window.
      In Windows 7, click the Start button Image of the Start button, on Windows Virtual PC, on Windows XP Mode Applications, then on the program you want to open.

      But when I click on evprint (the software I want to run on Windows 7 Pro), I hear an error sound and XP Mode tells me that I don't have antivirus

      I just installed Avast and did the updates, but still can't get evprint to work.
