My managing editor wants an article about installing XP Mode (RC or RTM) in Windows 7, and after a little checking, I agreed to do it. However, there's always a wrench in the works.
First of all, the Intel Processor Identification Utility (PIU) says Supports Virtualization Technology - Yes.
In the BIOS, under Config - CPU, Virtualization is enabled.
Windows Virtual PC installs without an issue. Windows XP mode installs with a checkbox for "Launch XP Mode." Then I get an error message that says, "Unable to start Windows Virtual PC because hardware-assisted virtualization is disabled."
So how about it? Anybody got it working on a T61 or T61p?
Anybody have XP Mode working on a T61p?

Re: Anybody have XP Mode working on a T61p?
I had it working on a T61 with W7 RC build 7100. Are you certain virtualization is enabled? In order for enabling virtualization to take effect, the machine must be powered off.

Re: Anybody have XP Mode working on a T61p?
Thank you! That was my problem. I had been doing restarts. When I tried it this morning after a full shutoff last night, it went directly into setup. (Won't tell you how long I messed with it.)
