The software I am talking about is on CD ROMS, not floppy discs. Personally I would like to get either Movie Editor 2004 or 2005 to work properly, both of which do install on Windows 7, plus Pressworks 2.5. Which will not install.
In my windows 7 machine most of the old software won't even start to run and the compatibility options don't effect it at all.
Windows gives me the message (on Pressworks 2.5) that it won't run on this system and to contact the manufacture (who have ceased trading) for an update of the software.

When any old software does install it tends to crash or doesn't look right. So I was thinking if it needed to be altered (reprogrammed) to get the flaws out. Does anybody do that kind of thing?
