Yes we have used Home Publishing 99 for years on an XP desktop. Unfortunately it won't work properly with Windows 7 and gives an ocx error message. All it would do was open files already saved. It wasn't possible to start new projects or print two sided projects. I solved this by installing VMware Player on my Windows 7 machine then installed a virtual copy of XP. You do need a legitimate XP CD and validation key though. You then have the use of those programs which defy Compatibility mode but work under XP proper.
If you can't get Home Publishing running under XP and compatibility mode is no go I suggest you first uninstall the program and delete the folder. I remember getting Home Publishing working after a free download and installation of Microsoft Digital Imaging 6 and Clip Gallery. Home Publishing's such an intuitive and capable program that it's a shame Microsoft have buried it. Publisher may do more but it's expensive and not something you can use straight off.
Microsoft Home Publishing should work on XP if you persevere. It's OK too on XP mode from Windows 7. The neat thing about VMware is that you can run VMPlayer from Windows 7 Home. You don't need Windows 7 Professional.
