Yeah understand this if you can...... Brand new Laptop, tried the Win7pro upgrade path ($200) only to find that this new machine is NOT COMPATIBLE with the virtual XP mode. Bugger it Ive wasted the whole weekend on this and specifically said the H Norman that I wanted to run in XP mode or be able to role it back to XP. Cant do either - so Im left with a very nice Toshiba brick that I cant get mey DSI or QHY8 recognised.
Im reallyP...ed off.
