The video isn't much use for me since my system is windows 7 pro. Other posts says windows 7 pro and above, just the largest xp mode file is needed. I'll try it one more time, then just say 'to !!!! with it!
an hour later:
saw this on another site;
Virtual Machine is virtual machine, If you install XP Mode, then it should be in your start menu. Just click on it like any other program and it should start to run.
The proper setup is to install XP mode first and then Virtual PC.
So now maybe I need virtual pc?
Ok, uninstalled and reinstalled WindowsXPmode_en-us.exe and the update KB958559
The virtual mode showed but I had to create a vertual pc there. Installed Gothic II and it's addon. The game still won't start. I don't think it's any use going farther. I'll just uninstall everything and set everything back to normal and play the game on the 32 bit vista machine. Thanks for all your assistance ! !
>> Just thought of something else, while installing the game, onscreen message says it's installing a virtual file system, so maybe that was conflicting with xp mode/vertual pc.
