Hi,

 

Please clarify: do you want XP mode OR using virtual PC (machine). For running XP mode you can start from this:

 

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

 

For virtual machine, you need more than that.

 

Regards.

BH

It looks like you have hardware virtualization technology on your system, but it is not turned on. This can usually be enabled in the BIOS. When the computer first starts to boot, you can get into the bios with the F10 key. Look under the 'Power' options for the virtualization setting. Change it to 'Enabled' and you will have no further problems with Windows XP mode.
