In theory, old XP apps are supposed to run under Vista's
"compatability mode". But I wouldn't bet the farm on it:

To me, it is totally unacceptable that the apps currently running on
XP won't run on Vista. I don't give a hoot what their excuse is. It
should have never been designed that way. They should have made
some provision for running legacy apps.
They should have at least provided users with a FREE XP license for
installation into a virtual session.
