I have recently been forced to upgrade my software to windows xp. so i purchased a new computer with xp installed. my problem comes in because one program will not work with xp. so i would like to use both towers with 1 monitor and printer. basically like i have 2 hard drives but in different towers is there an easy way to do this. The 1 program i need is on me based system. pagis pro. any help would be great

I use KVMs (keyboard,video,mouse) to switch between towers. You can get them fairly cheaply online (less than $25US) from various vendors.

I do not know where you live but Walmart has them. IOgear KVM
If they are on a LAN you can use VNC to access the second computer from with in a window on the primary computer. It works very well and you only need a router, switch, hub, or crossover cable.

Or alternativley you can have a virtual machine and have the older OS running inside XP on the other machine and run the application that way you would use something like VMware to achieve this.

There is also Synergy.
