    Yes, absolutely!

    all you have to do is just use the virtual windows xp mode use it and then exit. It is just like something like VIRTUAL MACHINE. Make sure you have more memory for the access program

     

    Cheers!

    In order to use the XP Mode, your PC hardware must have the Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) option (there is an equivalent in AMD but I don't know what that is called).  Some Dell's have the VT and some do not.  Usually, it's enabled/disabled in the BIOS (Setup) if it's available on your PC (and some Dell's do not have the option even thorugh the CPU has the capability).

    If you go to the link that was just given to you and read the page you will understand what you need to do. There are 2 files that you need to download and install in the correct order. The link again is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
