Glenn, Where do you see this? I went to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx and entered Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Immediately came up "You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/windows-anytime-upgrade. " Clicked in there. Upgrades are $200 and more.

It's a free download compatible with Home Premium 32- and 64-bit.

Just a thought.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I believe I would need to upgrade to something different in order to run XP virtual. If the $20 PCI card works, that is cheaper.

Larry,

If you still suspect it's an OS issue, downloading XP Mode for Windows 7 may solve the problem.

It may be worth having in any case.
