XP-mode is a very nice and help feature in Windows 7 that helps to address the incompatibility issue. But it’s long been criticized for the fact that in order to run it the computer must have a processor that has either Intel’s VT or AMD’s AMD-V feature built-in.
To address this concern as well as to compete other competitive products like VMware or Virtual Box, which don’t have this cumbersome requirement at all, Microsoft just released an update (KB977206) that Enables Windows XP Mode for PCs without Hardware Assisted Virtualization Technology. Another words, this update removes the prerequisites required to run Windows Virtual PC and XP mode in windows 7.
For those who already have XP-mode running, you can simple ignore this update.
But for those who wanted but wasn’t able to do it, that’s a good news for you. Simply go to Windows Virtual PC download page, and download XP Mode image, Virtual PC program, and the updates, and install them in order.
