Couldn't you run the program in vista/win7 using compatibility mode?
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

I don't have a laptop but I have two old PCs you can have.
One is W2K and the other is 3.1.

Cheers for the offer bernard, but it needs to be mobile. Need to load Kawasaki jetski diagnostic software. Need to be able to carry with me when out on repairs.
