Virtual XP Mode and Stardock

What do you see?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys. I decided to play around with XP mode on Windows 7 Ultimate and was wondering if any of you guys have tried it?

 

I can't get CursorFX Plus to work.

Icon Packager works, but looks yucky.

 

Sound Packager half works, and Windowblinds works fine.

 

 

Anyone have any advice for me?

Yeah, leave XP to those of us with machines that have to run it.  :P

Not the type of answer I would usually offer ( I'm using "X" what can I do... try something else") but I recommend scrapping that and using VMware Workstation 9. It handles video and resources much better.

A bit costly at $249 but I (being in I.T.) find it essential.

For a die hard hobbyist and skinner it would be extremely beneficial for covering a plethora of OS flavors as well.

I just want to play with it, can't afford $249.00 to play with. Mainly wanted to try to get a working version of DX Pro 3.5 on it....but, no go.

 

Again, nothing scripted runs.

 

Thanks tho.

 

I have used VirtualBox before, when I didn't have Win7 Ultimate.

 

Thanks Phoon.

I run VirtualBox but haven't tried DX on it......works great for all my XP & Ubuntu needs though. Not sure what would keep scripts from running.
