Windows 7 Pro XP mode not working

[jools182]

Hi

I recently bought a new PC with windows 7 pro installed, on the understanding I could use it in XP mode for my old programs

However, after downloading xp mode and windows virtual pc, it won't work

I get an error message stating there is no hardware assisted virtualization on the machine

If you have an Intel processor, some do not support XP mode.

I think this is going to be an unpleasant surprise for many who just bought a new PC. See this post for more about which Intel processors do / don't support virtualization
