Okay, so I answered some of my own questions. It looks like it would be
much easier to downgrade the install to 32 bit (there's only 4 gig on
the computer). I haven't tried it yet, but can I do this from an OEM
System builder Pack? I know I have to wipe the partition and start over,
but does this '64 bit' SP1 disk have 32 bit on it?

Just to recap, he still does all his law documentation in PFS Write.
This works fine on his current creaky 2006 vintage computer and 32bit
XP. So I'm about to ship him another box with Win7. The problem I've
run into is that I still need to give him PFS Write. He has over 500
files in the PFS Write format and most of the recent ones are down in
FL on his computer, I have the balance of them. So the problem is
that the Win7 I have is 64bit, which means 16 bit programs are a
no-go. There are two choices: Use 32bit Win7 (is that also on the 64
bit disk or do I have to purchase?) or set up a shortcut that will
start something like virtual box and start PFS Write. For the latter
it would have to be dead simple, or simple enough for the dead. Would
that be possible?
And, as always, thanks guys....Steve
