Title: Re-Install XP VM
Post by: WireGuy1950 on September 23, 2014, 12:28:35 PM

I seem to have a problem.

I had XP Virtual Machine installed on my computer (Dell with Windows 7 Pro) and functioning, then one day it decided that it would no longer recognize the user or password so I could access the VM.

After some fooling around I managed to delete the VM thinking I could re-install, but I can no longer find it to install it. I only have the restore flash drive and do not want to wipe out the computer, but I really need the VM working.

Please help!!!
