Running CC2-Pro under Win7 64-bit

Has anybody had any success running CC2-Pro under 64-bit versions of Windows 7?
Yes, I know it's an odd question. Yes, I am running CC3 with all available add-ons.
But I'd like to be able to run the CC2/Harn mapping tools, which only work under CC2.
I've installed CC2-Pro, and by setting the compatibility to WIn98, I can use it to open maps of its era.
What I can't do is create new maps wih it - the template diaogue window opens, but then hangs - I can't select a template.
Athough I have versions of Win7 which will run under WinXP mode, my hardware doesn't support it.

This procedure accomplishes exactly the same result as using the New option to select a temple. A CC2/CC3 template is nothing other than a standard map with a different extension, which is why you can do it this way.
You can also simply execute the TEMPLATE command. This will bring up a regular file open dialog, then select the desired template (no preview though). Then execute the NEW command to actually start a new map on the selected template. (This was the old way of doing it, before the template browser, except there were toolbar buttons for those commands back then)
Thank you for the suggestion. The template tries to load then I get the windows error "Fcw32.exe has stopped working" then the system tries to find a solution/recover. When this fails, Windows closes CC2 Pro.
again thank you for the suggestion!
Kind Regards!
