appcompat error in windows XP program crashes

Hi, I am trying to run an embroidery digitizing program in Windows XP (I have Boot Camp). Program is Design Shop v. 9. It appeared to install correctly, and I have since installed a newer version. The program uses a dongle and when the program is opened and you begin to use it it crashes and gives me this error message. C:\DOCUME~1\carol\locks~1\temp\c5ba_appcompat.txt
Program runs successfully on pc.

I know there are others using this program on a mac. I appreciate any help in making this my actual work machine and not just the most expensive itunes system around.

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

I suggest reposting in the BootCamp forum here:

I avoid any programs/apps that use dongles, like the plague.

Have you had any problems with embroidery machines running .dst files once they were downloaded on to a Mac? I have a new Brother PR-620, and they told me once the file touches a Mac, it is corrupted. I have not opened it, edited it, nothing, ever. It is just a transportation situation.
