    Running Win 7 Pro. Installed win 7 XP mode. But when I try to start it, it tells me that I need to install it. When I try installing it again it tells me that it already installed. Has any one seen this before? How do I get XP mode to run?

    Thanks

    Have you tried right clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator"?
    Don't know if Win7 has that, but is a Vista thing, so it may.

    How do I get into Administrator?

    Right click on the program in question.
    Should be a dialog box pop up.
    "Run as Administrator" may be the third one from the top.

    Got it to install. IE would not work. Used Mizilla Firefox and it loaded...

    Thanks for all the input...
