There may be a problem with old programming not working with newer machines as well.

Some of the program internal steps may use steps in the micro processors that no longer exist on newer machines.

Also you might need to look for a setting that pretends to emulate older computers and / or older software like Windows 7 or Vista or even Windows XP.

Good Luck.


ETA: Something else you might look for is old working computers like the one that died on you both on Ebay and places like Craigs List or any other possibilities.
Heck, you could have relatives (people like me) that just can't seem to throw out older machines (especially if the things still have a chance of being used by somebody somewhere).
I keep telling myself that I will get them into the hands of a some non-profit or something as a printer only machine or for really young kids to play with to learn keyboards or mouse use or some such.
