Thanks a lot, Richard. I'm going to try this. Hopefully it will be just what we need!

If that doesn't work, and if IT is installing Win 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can install Windows Virtual PC (free) and run Windows XP Mode (free) in it. It's a fully-functional version of the XP OS. You can switch to it from your Win 7 desktop (it's like running Remote Desktop Connection, but the remote system is on the same physical hardware), but you don't have to in order to run a program. When you install a program in the Windows XP Mode VM, it's also available in the Win 7 program list, and you can open it directly from Win 7.
