I have an old program that runs well on windows xp but when I tried to install it on my laptop running windows 7, 64 bit, gies me an error, "program not designed for 64 bit system". Any work around will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Thats quite strange, all 32 bit apps are made to be able to be used on 64 bit platforms. Maybe try right clicking on the installer file and setting compatibility to Windows XP. Then try running it and see if that helps. :)
