Vertual XP on Win7

Hi  

Which version of 7 have you got as Virtual Xp will ONLY work on Pro or Ultimate ...NOT HOME PREMIUM...

All the best Brett  

You need to have Pro or Ultimate to run XP mode in Win 7 as Brett said. Even if you do XP mode has some issues with certain boards so you may need to update your BIOS especially if you have a gigabyte board. If you have a Home version of Windows then you're going to have to use Oracle Virtual Box and install on it a valid copy of Windows XP.

If that OE is Outlook Express why not just try Thunderbird or something instead, running a virtual machine seems rather a lot for just that.

You can also download VMWare Player which is free and works on any version of Windows 7. Like megamanx00 says, you will still have to own a license for Windows XP.

However, if you have a working XP computer, you can use the free VMWare Standalone Converter and convert your XP machine to a VM. It works great and there's a ton of support for it all over the internet.
