Windows 7 XP Mode

[vern]

So I installed XP mode, but I don't see an icon or any options via a context menu. How do I run programs in XP mode?

You have to install them while in XP mode.
I believe it is listed in the Start menu.

The problem is I don't see it anywhere on the start menu.

Did you install Virtual PC and XP mode?

Have to install both for XP mode to work.

Like AZ has suggested... you need both in order for it to work.
HOWEVER, on top of this, you will also need a PC/Processor capable of virtualisation if I'm not mistaken.

Here is an artcle about XP mode from winsupersite.

Ahh, you need VPC? I thought XP Mode replaced VPC. Thanks!

For those looking to do this

Windows Virtual PC: Download

Select whether you are using 32 or 64 bit and you are peachy

-edit-

Updated with screenie. I just installed this a little bit ago after my new install of Win 7 RTM. Install apps from within XP mode and you are all set.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx. Install apps from within XP mode and you are all set.

then you will see the xp compatible apps under the all programs>>>virtual pc>>>windows xp mode applications. works great. Noobs wont even know they are running the app under a VM.
