Just rename the virtual pc executable to bypass the error.

What incompatability? Is it another Vaio problem?

I have VPC 2007 SP1 running perfectly on my Dell Vostro running 64-bit
Windows 7 RC. (The processor does not support hardware virtualization). Are
you sure that you are running the 64-bit version of Win 7 and trying to
install the 64-bit version of VPC 2007 SP1? I did not see any warning
messages on install, and had no problems creating a vm. I have XP running
from an existing .vhd created under VPC running on Vista x64 on a different
machine. No problems.

The only problem I am aware of with installing VPC 2007 occurs if you
have previously tried to install the new version (VPC 7). This has been
discussed in the beta ng and I thought it had been discussed here as well. I
had not tried that on this machine because I knew it would not work (no
hardware virtualization as noted above). I do have VPC 7 under Win 7 RC
running on a desktop previously used to beta test Hyper-V (so I knew
hardware virtualization worked).

Thank you All
it is now working the problem is that i was installing Virtual PC 2007 and
i have already Windows Virtual PC installed. when i uninstall the Windows
Virtual PC which is not working because of Sony disabling the VT on my
computer. the Virtual PC 2007 SP1 worked fine on Windows 7 RC.
