Windows XP Mode - Install and Setup

Thanks Brink,

The tutorial says to install Virtual PC 1st then XP mode 2nd.

On MS website it seems to say the opposite...I must be confused. It probably does not matter what order you install them huh?

Download Windows XP Mode

It doesn't matter, i've installed both combinations and both work fine. Not sure why MS says to do that???

Nar, you will need to have Windows Virtual PC installed first, then XP Mode. I would not think that XP Mode would install or work without Windows Virtual PC installed already.

Negative, XP-Mode installs fine without Virtual PC. I'm doing it now :)

Of course it worn't work until VPC is installed but that's not the point here.

LOL, technicality gets you every time.

Yep

Thanks guys. I will just follow Brinks tut.

That should get me where i need to be. Teaching ten 16 year old girls how to use it will be the challenge.

Defo your best bet, i was i no way disagreeing with Shawns tutorial, just stating technicalities

Why not just create 10 accounts on SF for the girls and leave them to it

Yea, they can't figure out ONE account. It's ugly. They have other things on their minds. (I wish I was 16 again)
