Next install VMware in your Windows 7 and you can have virtual copies of any operating system you like.
That seems to be an awful lot of stuffing around, especially if your not too technically minded.

As long as you have Windows 7 64 bit Professional or Ultimate, you can just download Windows XP Mode for free from Microsoft, in and no time you'll have a Windows XP install you can use for those little apps which don't like Windows 7 64.
