Re: Virtual PC 64-bit Version 

There is a 64-bit version of Virtual PC 2007.  The applicatio­n itself is not 64-bit, but the drivers it contains are.  You can download it from here: http://www­.microsoft­.com/downl­oads/detai­ls.aspx?fa­milyid=28C­97D22-6EB8­-4A09-A7F7­-F6C7A1F00­0B5&di­­splaylang­=en.  Howe­ver, before installing it, you may want to update Windows 7 first because Microsoft released applicatio­n compatabil­ity updates today that may address the issue you are having.  I have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 as well and after doing this, Virtual PC 2007 was running on my computer without any problems.

 

If you have hardware-a­ssisted virtualiza­tion, then I would download Windows Virtual PC instead.  You can download it from here:  http://www­.microsoft­.com/windo­ws/virtual­-pc/downlo­ad.aspx.  Howe­ver, I have never used it before because I do not have hardware-a­ssisted virtualiza­iton.  Thus­, I cannot say for sure if it can handle operating systems other than Windows XP.  But I think it can, so I'd still give it a go.  I hope this helps!
