Windows XP Mode

The compatibility tab isn't to be confusd with XP-Mode (Virtual PC).
Right click on your program's shortcut icon, choose properties.
Click the compatibility tab and check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and choose either XP SP2/XP SP3.
Sometimes i've found running as administrator works but not always.
Hit apply and then try and run the program again.

Okay, thanks. I think that's going to work once I'm able to establish privileged user access. As of now it's blanked out (probably because the program needs to access our server database).
Our IT guy can probably help with this.

Let us know how you get on. :)

I certainly will.

If you cannot get the MS software to work out for you, Sun VirtualBox is a great little easy to use application. VirtualBox. That's what I use for my home virtualization needs and I have been very happy. I'm an extensive user of VMWare Server and VMWare ESX and ESXi at work...so i've got loads of experience with VM products.

So to get Windows XP working in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, what would you recommend, VirtualBox or VMWare?

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1

Windows XP Mode

I tried that yesterday, and it was not compatible with my system.

Are you sure you tried SP1?

Well, now that you mention it...I don't recall SP1 being in the title.
I will try again.
