Thank you for the response. I suspect that it might be better to forget about using the converter. I haven't used any of this software before, so please let me know if my reasoning here is off. I assume that in order to install Converter into an older Windows virtual machine I'd have to actually install an older version of Windows into it. If I have to do this, it defeats my purpose in using converter.
The problem is that my Windows XP notebook died and I replaced it with a Windows 7 notebook, but there are some older DOS and WIndows programs which I use, primarily at the office. (If necessary I'll set up an inexpensive computer with XP to run them, but it would be preferable for obvioius reasons to run them in a virtual machine on my notebook). I figured my options were to 1) use converter to get the set up on the old hard drive, or an Aconis drive image, set up as a virtual machine and then remove the programs which run under Windows 7 or to 2) Set up a virtual machine running XP and reinstall the programs which do not run on Windows 7. If the converter doesn't work under Windows 7 it sounds like it would be simpler to just set up XP instead of using the converter.
