Re: GENCMP Digest, Vol 4, Issue 235
Ilya Zeldes
thank you for your suggestion. Sure, I'm aware that PAF Companion would run
in the virtual machine... But I have Win 7 Home Premium, which does not
allow it... I attempted to install PAF Companion v.5.4.13 in a compatibility
mode to no avail... That's why I'm looking for work around solution, if any.
Thanks again for your input.
ILYA

Use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 from www.snipca.com/x427 It allows you to run
a virtual copy of Windows XP in Windows 7.
You will need to follow the wizard to set up a virtual PC and install a
fresh copy of Windows XP on to it.
Once installed XP you can run it in a window on your windows 7 desktop just
as if it was a "real" PC and then install any other program on it as normal.

Bill
