Just in case there's anyone wanting to use XP mode but have found themselves with a version of 7 that does not support it or has a CPU without virtualisation support, here's what looks like a neat solution. I've not tested yet but it looks sound.

Nice one!! will try and give that a bash later on today!!
Note: if you don't have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise you need a separate XP license to do this. If you do have an eligible version, you still need a separate license to do it this way; the only way you are automatically licensed is through the Microsoft way.
Woohoo - It Works!!
Even FMS works as it should!!
Cleared it with our Finance Officer and getting ready to upgrade them to Windows 7 at long last
Hope it goes well for you! Please don't shoot the messenger if there are problemsOriginally Posted by Gatt
