Ford Technical Service Publication Software for 64-bit & Win-8

[BonesDT]

I have a nice collection of '90's Ford Truck Service Manual CD-ROMs. You have to install the software from one of the CDs as a one time deal for each computer. The software is called "Ford Technical Service Publication System".

I used to view these on Windows XP back in the day and recently on Windows 7 32-bit. I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 64-bit, and the software is not compatible. Now I only have one computer left running Win 7 32-bit and I want to upgrade it to Win 8 64-bit.

Is there an updated version of this software anywhere or is there a way to view these manuals on upgraded systems? Thanks.

Create a virtual machine, install a 32-bit OS on that and use that VM for your CDs..

You can use VMplayer (from vmware) or Hyper-V in Windows 8. Hyper-V is the replacement for Virtual PC that you could use in the older Windows OS's.

This is how I am still able to run older programs on my 62-bit Win 7 box..
