Did you try to virtualize it and run it into a VM only for that app?

No I'm not touching it with a 10 feet pole. Besides the fact that I would need new hardware for that( it's a core 2 duo system) which they are unwilling to fork the money for, anything that happens with it in the future will be my fault.

But it would be a time when the HD dies. Are you able to re-install? If no, you should try to backup/virtualize.

No I'm not able to reinstall. I am also not willing to deal with tech support. If and when it dies I'll just order a dell for them and they can sort the software issue themselves.
