In fact VMLite actually has links to XP mode. No need to worry about people sending CD's, activating etc. |

Couple of Pictures :64 Bit and VMlite (www.imagef1.net.nz) along with PCworld on VMlite (www.imagef1.net.nz) The screen shots dont have full screen, as I wanted to show W7 in the background. if you put it to full screen its just like working on XP. |

| 1170078 | 2011-01-16 21:34:00 | also bear in mind the 64 bit XP pro mentioned earlier is quite a different beast to normal XP. It had compatability issues and is a bit of an orphan, I believe it's based off one of the server OS's and is therefore very different to XP 32 bit. It does look and feel much the same though, I have a copy somewhere myself. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1170079 | 2011-01-16 21:45:00 | I think I will keep my WinXP Pro 64 as I intend to upgrade another PC I have here so I will put it on that. Apparently icow has another method of achieving the desired result anyway. |

| 1170080 | 2011-01-17 02:41:00 | Yes, I have XP 64bit in my stable of fix it stuff. It is a bit of an orphan as drivers are sometimes unavailable for peripheral devices. | PENTIUM (426) | ||

| 1170082 | 2011-01-17 07:42:00 | Yup, XP mode is a VM / VHD. If VMlite is meant to work with XP Pro x64, buggered if I can get to boot from the iso. If its meant to. I created an ISO from the cd I've got. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1170083 | 2011-01-17 07:59:00 | It tries to work out what version of windows in running and won't let me download. Which brings me back to my original question. Where can I get xp? | icow (15313) | ||
