Microsoft also said that Virtual PC 2004 required Windows XP Professional and it worked on XP Home anyways, so you might want to give Virtual PC 2007 a try. >So is it possible by some other means to run Microsoft Space Simulator (DOS >only) on Windows XP? You can try using the MS-DOS emulator built into Windows XP. If that does work you can try either VDMSound or DosBox. VDMSound improves Windows XP's MS-DOS emulator with better sound drivers, this should solve the compatibility problems for most games. DosBox is a completely different emulator that emulates a PC at the lowest level. This means it runs pretty much everything, but slowly.
