Hi All,

Windows 7 Pro has a free program included with it called Windows Virtual PC which has a Windows XP mode that seems very good with running XP programs. As an example I loaded up and ran a Phillips Toucam Pro install and took pictures on it without any problems.

If you have a Windows 7 Home edition you will have to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro or better to use this software.

Good to know Donald. I'm about to get a new laptop and build a new desktop. I'll be sure to use Windows 7 pro.
