    XP mode in 7


    New at 7, really liked XP. Had a crash, did a clean install of 7. Downloaded the XP mode files but now can't find a way
    to start it.
    Any help will be appreciated. Keep it simple for an old man.

    What version of Windows 7 do you have?

    Did you install Windows Virtual PC along with XP mode?
