Windows XP SP3

Where are these 'ratings' you speak of coming from?

I'm a die-hard XP fan myself, I refuse to switch to Vista

The OS gives you a rating value on various parts of your hardware, as well as an overall rating.

No, I meant the copy of Vista, not XP. Sorry if that was phrased oddly. I used the same CD to install onto a Virtual Machine, and that's when I ran into the above problem.

Um, you're note even supposed to be allowed to run Home Basic in a VM.

Er... what? Then why does MS Virtual PC 2007 have a Vista option?

In the ToS Vista Basic is forbidden from being run in a Virtual Machine.

Virtual PC sucks, try VMware.

I'm not upgrading to a RC of SP3 though, I can wait and don't care to risk reinstalling right now.

VPC's free and works fine with Windows OS's, which is what I use it for.

The only thing I found useful about VPC, is that when I would need to write online tests with SecureExam, VPC would be able to load SecureExam in a XP vpc VM but while when loading SecureExam in in VMWARE, it would detect it and fail to load the test.
