1170064 2011-01-16 03:47:00 I was looking at buying a copy of xp 'cause xp compat isn't supported by win 7 home premium (only pro). Where should I look to buy and how much should I be paying? icow (15313)

You might find one 2nd hand now. WHy bother? Win7 is fine.

1170069 2011-01-16 07:05:00 Try this (www.vmlite.com) X2 :thumbs: VMLite runs the Windows XP mode which you download from Microsoft, quite happy on home premium. The latest versions have vastly improved the USB support. wainuitech (129)

1170071 2011-01-16 08:37:00 I have a full version of WinXP Pro 64 bit which has not been on my PC since the RC version of Win 7 came out and therefore should activate with no trouble.

PM me if you want it icow.

1170073 2011-01-16 08:41:00 Hopefully you've got a 64 bit mobo and CPU. Otherwise, it wont install. And some VM's wont work with 64 bit ISO's (if you create an ISO from it) Speedy Gonzales (78)
