When I bought my 64-bit Vista system a couple of years ago (which I recently upgraded to Win 7), my old 32-bit XP games wouldn't work - even in compatability mode.
I installed Sun Microsystem's VirtualBox. It's free, and fairly easy to install. All you need to have is some spare disk space (for the VM), and the XP 32-bit install discs. You download Virualbox from Sun (or another valid site), install it, then run the VirtualBox and install XP 32-bit from within VirtualBox. Once that's done, you can load your software inside VitualBox. It acts just like another PC running 32-bit XP.
This way, you don't need XP mode in Vista or WIN 7 Pro or Ultimate. I'm running it on the 64-bit Home Premium edition.
