I have a few HP ProBook 6560b PCs. Because of the forklift programs I use they are not comatable to 64bit. I downloaded two OS programs X15-6572.iso, & X15-65804.iso, and the instructions from the forum. WHich one should I use and is there anything else I should know before I do this?

If you are running Windows 7 Professional or better you can download "Windows XP mode" for free from microsoft's web-site. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx

I haven't tested this at all, but it's basically a fully licensed version of XP running in a virtual machine. It looks like it integrates so that you don't have to feel like your running a VM for just one program.

Let us know if that worked and good luck.

(Also you might try right-clicking the installer and selecting "troubleshoot compatibility" if you haven't done so.)
