you should run securable.exe just incase... see if it may work anyways
on a side note... did anyone notice how tightly knit it is with the rest of the OS... it even integrates itself into explorer for the window telling you what machines you have...

i decided to install LHR just to see if it works any better... along with ReactOS to see if it integrates

The reason why Virtual PC worked on there, it's because it doesn't need that feature.
Well, most company's recently upgraded from Compaq and HP Computers, to the new dell machines, I don't know for sure but I think they support it.
But it is really an matter of taste of the company if they want to run it, otherwise if you can't run it, you can run VMWare Workstation with Unity , it works about the same.

Well, if you are an beta tester (which I think you are if you're on this forum) and using Virtual PC with DOS and so on, with floppy's.
Then you are better of with Virtual PC 2007 (which causes BSOD's on my windows 7 build 7100 machine). Because the new version doesn't support floppy's (which is a shame).
But still I have VMWare installed and that works great, including an better version of integration (on my stand point for now (which could change soon or a while later)) called Unity.
@constrictor: I had that also when I didn't have my 64-bit CPU that I have now. I couldn't test 64-bit or running 64-bit OS's.
-- End @constrictor --
I usually get an new computer, or can build a new computer in 3~5 years.
And the old one is still in use (although the one I mentioned without 64-bit support) but it freezes at boot sometimes (I think it's the videocard maybe it's broken, I can put an 8mb PCI Video card in it, but it's quit old, it came from an Pentium 1 then, so I think it will blow up when I use it, the one that is in there is an 256mb NVidea GForce 6600.
But still after an unsuccesfull boot it will boot an second time or thirth or fourth.

Mine is 64-bit it's just an older Intel Pentium D.
