UPDATE: Here is what Microsoft says about using Win XP Mode:
"In order to use Windows XP Mode, you need to make sure your computer meets certain system requirements, otherwise Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode won't work correctly, even though you might be able to download and install them. Before you begin, follow these steps:
Make sure you're running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate. [this left me out]
Find out whether your computer's CPU is capable of hardware-assisted virtualization.
Windows XP Mode was primarily designed to help businesses move from Windows XP to Windows 7. It isn't optimized for graphic-intensive programs, nor is it well suited for programs with higher hardware requirements."
Uninstalled the program from the above referenced PC and installed it on a less hardware intensive PC but still meeting the minimum hardware requirements and running Win 7 64 bit. The program is working so far without a problem.
Thanks, David, for your support.
