    Problems on Virtual PC XP mode

    Hi,
    I want to run a xp mode on Virtual Pc of Windows 7. What are the things needed for this. I have Windows 7 workng on my laptop. For running some application it is very important for me to run Windows XP on it. But the same is not happening. I think there's something missing which is causing issue. I also want a system restore option in case for any crash.

    Note that if you do not download Virtual PC, you can if you want to direct you to VirtualBox. Download Windows XP mode and Virtual PC for Windows 7 and then you must now select your version of Windows 7 (Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate, 32 or 64) and the language. Then download both modules, then install them in the order listed. After installing the second module, a system reboot will be necessary.
