Should be from the Start > All Programs > Windows Virtual PC

Make sure it installed properly.

What version of Windows are you running?

Virtual mode is only available in Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate.

Towards the bottom of this link you'll see the things you need http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7

If for some reason you can't get it installed at all that way, try running another virtual box, some are free, although they may run a bit slower.
Oracle has one I have used before https://www.virtualbox.org/
