running xp programs on vista

M

I need to install a couple of programs for a medical transcriptionist job on
my PC which has Vista. The programs are all XP. Will they be compatible on
my PC? The main one I'm worried about is the software for the foot pedal,
which when you are choosing the program, does not list vista, only up to XP.
Thanks for any help you can give. I would really like to be able to do this.

You would need to check with the folks that made your software or hardware
to see if they support Vista.

You can try, but there are no guarantees. Microsoft tried to keep as much
backwards compatibilities as possible, but some programs just don't work
right. You can try contacting the developer and see if they support Vista.
