Download Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode. Before downloading these files, you must validate the version of Windows 7 you’re running.
Once both files have been downloaded, execute the “Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg” file and reboot as necessary.
Run the “WindowsXPMode en-us” file you downloaded once Windows has restarted the PC.
Once installation is complete, launch Windows Virtual PC from your start menu. Select the “XP Mode” option by clicking the all programs button and looking for it near the bottom.
Follow the setup instructions for Windows XP. When it’s finished, you should see something similar to this:

TIS runs on Vista, although it isn’t reliable. It only works good enough for me to search up some information before eventually crashing. most likely switch to XP in virtual form.
A group of useless figures scroll endlessly on a poorly lit 19-monitor computer while you sit in a worn-out office chair in a basement floor while drinking stale coffee.
I believe that would slow down the machine, but it might work. a waste of time if only for TIS. I’ll just use an old, damaged laptop as a “garage computer,” I suppose.
When you switch on the virtual computer, you run it once, and when you’re finished using TIS, you shut off the virtual machine. A spare, outdated laptop would also be simple.
Try this to see if it helps: Run this software in compatibility mode for: should be checked when you right-click on the TIS icon and select the Compatibility tab. and then from the drop-down box, choose “Windows XP SP3.”
TIS Icon, what? Even the Disc won’t run or install for me. After setting up the installation, it begins to operate and then prompts me to choose a language. Then…nothing. simply spins. I don’t see any icons.
