I haven't got this particular software but I find that a lot of stuff will
run under WindowsXP if you find where the .exe has been installed on your PC
and change the properties for it ( right-click for the menu ) and set it to
run in Win95 compatability mode.

program which point blankly refused to work on xp despite being on a
single partition drive it got all the registry settings all around the
wrong way. Simply did`nt work whatsoever.

Changing the subj. slightly but...

Not sure what Titchmarsh himself uses but it isn't his 'branded'
software.. AFAIK he uses a Mac (or at least has been featured on TV
proggies with one) and uses somthing that looks like CADintosh, or
similiar

By the time it is free it is so obsolete as to be virtually worthless
(IMHO).

I'm still using DOS applications. If they do what you want them to, what
does obsolete mean?

Hi,

Thank you for the replies. From your answers and my experience--I think I
shall just use it with my old Windows 98 machine--slow but reliable.
