My host computer has Win 7 Pro (64-bit) OS with i7-975 processor. I
downloaded the 64-bit version of VirtualPC 2007 SP1 and I was able to
complete the Installation. Part of the Wizard, it ask for an OS, and I
select Window Vista because Win 7 was not available. The MS website
indicated that VirtualPC 2007 SP1 should work with Win 7.
After installation, I start up the VirtualPC and the "Virtual PC console" is
shown. I have my Win 7 Pro (64-bit) disk in the CD and I see "Windows is
loading files". After a little while, I get the errro above and this:
Window failed to start
File: \window\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xC000035a
Info: Attemping to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not
compatible with 64-bit Mode".
Can someone please help !
Thank You,
G
Did you enable virtualisation in the BIOS, which is mandatory to run 64-bit guests.

Has any one successfully installed a Win 7 64 bit guest in Virtual PC 2007

Never mind my post. I read the Virtual PC 2007 release notes and it says
64 bit "hosts OS" is supported but 64 bit "guest OS" is not supported.
