Finally i found the solution that how to install Windows XP within Windows Vista in a way that both operating system supports all softwares.

Below are the steps. Follow this steps, comment me if you found any problem.

Step 1:
You can install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 directly from Official Microsoft website ( www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc ). Install it with default options and it will install in few minutes. Once installation complete, Launch Virtual PC and click on Settings to configure your first Virtual Machine. This can get complicated as you are able to define everything what your Windows XP installation have. Click File name and call this Virtual Machine something like “My XP PC”. Now select Memory option and set your Virtual Machine to use 256 MB or half your PC’s memory (whichever is minimum) . Click OK once you complete this.
Step 2:
1) Insert Windows XP CD in the drive
2) Click start in the Virtual PC console window
3) Window will show your Virtual Machine as it boots.
4) Press Enter to choose the “Setup Windows XP now” and work through the installation.
Step 3:
When Setup has completed, your Virtual Machine window will contain a complete Windows XP desktop.
It looks like small. To make it as larger screen follow the below step.
