What OS it ran on? It might very well be possible to run that in a virtual environment in your Windows 7. Did you try compatibility mode already? That would be easiest.

Not sure if you are still looking for the Interst Vision program, but below is my posting to another thread... thought I would share it with you, but Interst Vision still exists as part of Family Lawyer,,, search Broderbund.com site for it.

Thank you... When get to the site, have to look for Family Lawyer program (there are others.. like Home and Business Lawyer.. not sure if it is included in those progams.) As of 4/2/11.. Family Lawyer is on sale for 14.99, it does have Interest Vision included, and can actually be run separate (just set up a shortcut to the file IV3.exe). It appears it is Interest Vision 3 (although it doesn't state any Version number). I have Interest Vision 2. Oddly this Family Lawyer version will not open my existing version files... so will have to do some re-creating. Best of all, it runs under Windows 7... so therefore I can continue to use this little gem. Have been using it since Win95 (if not before)... but getting more troublesome finding a PC to keep running it on, and could not get it to work under Win 7 at all. If you want to verify that Interest Vision is included, click on the Product Images (of Family Lawyer on the Broderbund.com site), one of the images has a picture of the Interest Vision Software opened up). Hope this helps others that have wanted to continue using this wonderful little program from the Bob Parson days (Parsons Technology). Thanks again for the link.
