[Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

[Robert Lauriston]

Windows Virtual PC is a VM, Microsoft's answer to Oracle's VirtualBox.
XP Mode is a Virtual PC system image that includes XP and uses the
license from the Windows 7 host. It integrates with Windows 7 better
than VirtualBox does.

This has nothing to do with the various Windows 7 "compatibility
modes." You have to download and install Virtual PC and the XP Mode
add-on. You can also use Virtual PC to test legacy versions of MSIE.

VirtualBox is more work to achieve the same end and it requires an XP license.
