| | Windows 7 64 bit error message Hi I'm trying to install Windows 7 into a virtual machine. I downloaded the 64 bit version because I have a 64 bit machine, and the host is 64 bit Vista. However, as soon as the installation starts, I get a message saying "attempting to load a 64 bit app but this CPU is not compatible with 64 bit mode" Does this mean I can only run 32 bit in virtual mode? Thanks |
