First download this to Test if your Machine Can Run XP Mode.


Second , download and install XP Mode (link below). There is no need to download Virtual PC if your computer cannot run it, so just download the XP Mode from the link below


Install XP mode; just follow the default prompts as usual.

Now, download and install VMware player.

You may see some prompts about installing drivers; simply approve them. We didn’t see them on our latest test, but have in the past. When you are finished installing VMware Player, you will have to restart your computer.

Add XP Mode to VMware Player

Now that your computer is rebooted, run VMware Player. We can import XP Mode by clicking File, then click “Import Windows XP Mode VM.

VMware Player will simply start importing your XP Mode. Converting XP mode to VMware format may take a couple minutes depending on your hardware, so just be patient.

When this is done, you should see a new virtual machine in VMware Player called XP Mode! Click “Play Virtual Machine” to run XP Mode.

XP will run through it’s first-run setup process.

While it is loading, you may be prompted to install or update VMware Tools. This is required to integrate XP Mode into your computer, so click Update Tools or Install Tools depending on you situation.

The tools will automatically download and install, though you may have to approve an UAC prompt.

Now you can proceed with your XP setup. Accept the license agreement,

choose your locale and keyboard settings

Enter a name for the virtual machine and an administrative password

And enter the correct date, time, and timezone. It usually gets the correct time and date from your computer itself, but the time zone is often incorrect.

XP will now finalize your changes, and then reboot.

When XP Mode restarts, choose your settings for updates.

Windows may ask to search for drivers. Simply press cancel, as VMware Tools will contain everything we need.
carino - [Guide] Run XP Mode on Windows 7 Machines Without Hardware Virtualization - RaGEZONE Forums


After a short delay, you should see your XP desktop in VMware Player!
