| | Windows XP Home Edition not supported? I've tried to install Microsoft Virtual PC under XP but at the beginning of the installation it's telling me that it's not a supported operating system. I thought that WinXP Home Edition was supported? It's WindowsXP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I thought that this was a supported OS, is that not actually the case? Is there some other reason it might not be working? |

It's "not supported" in that you will get no support from Microsoft if things go wrong. Just click through the warnings and install anyway. It will work just fine. -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) MVP - Windows Desktop Experience |
