Good thing I didn't get rid of the other computer with old operating system, so it's not a lost cause afterall, just keep my old computer at the other desk so I can sync up and still use my NEC MP
Solidus, he was not trying to run Win7 on his MP, just sync with it! And actually you can sync your MP with Win7. You just need to install a virtual machine (Virtual PC or similar) and put WinXP on it!
