| 834063 | 2009-11-27 00:52:00 | Any one tried Win 7 with XP mode? I have downloaded the required files and about to install but wondered if anyone has tried it and had issues? Have Win 7 Pro so is compatible. |

| 834064 | 2009-11-27 01:03:00 | Yep use it often - no problems at all. So far all the Windows 7 PC's I have built have had W7Pro and XP mode - last one I built the guy had 6 programs that were very old and windows 7 didn't want to know about them - ran fine in XP mode. The price difference between Home Pre and Pro - well made up for having to buy new versions of software. |

| 834069 | 2009-11-27 09:08:00 | Which file is telling you this, the first part or second - the larger of the two has to be installed first. Never had to run it as admin yet and I've installed it many times- just use the default settings. IF you are changing the default location this could be why you are getting the message. |

| 834070 | 2009-11-27 10:12:00 | right click, run as admin mate i don't ask for help unless i do actually need it. And its the second file when you go from the start menu on fist run i have to change location otherwise C:\ will have like 2GB left and I don't like that. I attempt to place it in D in a folder called XP Mode ironically. need a SS? |

| 834071 | 2009-11-27 20:00:00 | Sounds to me like you might be better off making the C partition a bit bigger so that it can install in the location that it wants to | gary67 (56) | ||
