If the maker of the software cannot help you to get it up and running, and other software
installs fine, then perhaps it is not Windows XP SP2 compatible? Are there forums at the
maker's web site, where you can post asking if anyone has successfully installed the
software using Windows XP SP2, and if so how? If you would supply the name and version of
the software, and the company which makes it, perhaps someone here can give you the
information you need as to whether the software will in fact run with Windows XP SP2, and
if so, what has to be done to get it up and running.
