Micrografx Draw 6 will run in 32-bit Mode on Windows 7 XP?

I have a lot of important projects that have been created with and the former program Micrografx Draw 6. He ran very well in the machine (2006) of XP.   The software will not install in Windows 7 Home premium in compatibility modes.  The message says "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.   The software publisher is out of business. If I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional I'll be able to install and use this software? If this isn't the case, you know of any other software that could open and work or simply to print my files backed up? They have an extention (.drw).
Thank you

Unless you want to be in a situation of dual boot, you can't not
install XP. The installation is very different from the compatibility
mode.

I can't promise you it will work, but I see no reason why
He should not run in XP compatibility mode, if it works under XP.

    How can I do this?

    Hi el amine,.

    Thanks for the display of the query to the Microsoft Community.

    Are what application you referring?

    I'm as informed you that you may need to contact the software publisher for more details on force the installation of the program, as most of the programs are designed to be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Most of the programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows works on 64-bit Windows version. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.

    Hope that the information was helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello! I'm currently under Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, 32-bit.  I'm in the army and need to have classes of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 or 9 (preferably IE8) in order to complete some online because they will not work on any newer version of Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know how to get Internet explore 8 or 9 to work in Mode of Windows XP or Windows 7 Professional? Thank you

    -Dglamartina

    The version the most recent support on Windows XP Mode is Internet Explorer 8. You can upgrade the preinstalled Internet Explorer 6 to 8 and publish it.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/Internet-Explorer-8-details.aspx

    See the instructions how to publish the app, so you can access it directly from Windows 7 Professional.

    Yet once, should be no problem. Indeed, I am under CS4 Std on Win 7 Pro 64 bit right now! CS4 works BETTER on Win 7 64 bit it did on Vist 64 bit. Everything seems to work slicker. Not that Vista was half as bad as some liked tomake.

    If the upgrade to Windows 7, make sure you reinstall a FULL instead of a straight line on top of upgrading Vista. You will have less this way conlicts.

    A suggestion: as stated above, I thought I was wrong this posted in the Windows 7 Forum.  In fact, the link under XP for updates takes you to the Forum Windows 7 > Windows Update.  It seems that it would be less confusing, if questions update go to a forum, out of Windows 7 and Windows Update as a stand-alone speaker.

    Thank you for all your help,

    The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar, and in the x 64 Vista Start menu will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?

    There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "Programs" menu Why two and what is the difference?

    This is the title of each and they run exe:

    Internet Explorer
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.

    One runs IE in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second is the 64-bit version.
