Just to clarify, I believe that the compatibility tab mentioned by nijso beishuizen is not the same as "Windows XP Mode". The former is a feature available in all versions of Windows XP/Vista/7, where you can mark a program as being compatible with a previous version of Windows (whether or not it'll actually make it run is another question). The latter is a preconfigured copy of Windows XP that runs in a Micrsoft Virtual PC virtual machine environment and is integrated with the Windows 7 desktop.

Note that not all Windows 7 editions include a Windows XP compatibility mode.
Professional or ultimate is needed:
