The thing is, according to the site I'm not even supposed to be allowed to download and install XP Mode on my computer, but somehow it let me do it anyway. (Worst reason I've ever heard of to not offer software for use). The only thing I was finally able to find after an hour of digging is that XP Mode is not supported on "Home" versions of Windows 7 because, according to them, non-business software might require hardware acceleration which doesn't work well in Virtual PC. There doesn't seem to be any support whatsoever available from Microsoft (big surprise there). The site let me download and install it fine, but when I try to actually turn on the virtual PC I just get a neverending load screen that occasionally tells me the BIOS is invalid. Finally I downloaded Windows Virtual PC and a copy of XP Mode, but I can't get XP mode to work. I tried every compatibility mode and it didn't work. It worked just fine on my old Vista machine, but it won't run at all on Windows 7. I have an old CD-ROM of Oregon Trail 1.2. ![]() I'm tearing my hair out here trying to do this.
