xp mode
gas5812@... 29th Sep 2009
i have been running the win 7 RC

I downloaded the win xp mode from the mircosoft site. When trying to run the mode it said my computer did not have hardware acceleration and could not use xp mode.

My computer has a 775 socket 3.0 GHZ processor
2 gig of memory and the bus speed is 553MHZ.

more then fast enough to run xp mode and run windows 7.

yet it would not run on my computer.
it may not work on other computers with hardware acceleration built into their computers also.

As much as I would like to go to windows 7 I will either stick with XP or switch to Linux
