It could be that no vendors are advertising it or even offering it; maybe because Windows Virtual PC no longer requires a hardware enabled CPU to run in XP or 32-bit mode as Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 did - apparently two different products. 64-bit is pretty much becoming the standard for new PCs and CPUs. I bought Windows 7 Pro a few months ago and it comes with both 32- and 64-bit DVDs. I installed the 64-bit version initially. That's when I discovered you needed a CPU with hardware virtualization to run 32-bit programs with Virtual PC 2007. So, I reloaded the drive with the 32-bit version so I could run my old software. Now that Windows Virtual PC is not suppose to be hardware dependant I may reinstall the 64-bit version and test it. On the MS website they still show 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Home Premium for sale. In either case I'm sure you need the Pro version to run Windows Virtual PC as I just tried to download the software to my laptop (with 64-bit home version) and got a dialog box saying I needed the Pro version to run it.

I assume you've gone from a 64 bit OS to a 32 bit and that the program that won't run is a 64 bit because the other way around would work. If your computer has a 64 bit CPU, as most new ones do, you could install Wndows 64 bit (from your address I assume your running Windows). -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer"
