On my development workstation i use VMWare Server to run the different servers i develop against. I have run into an annoying problem because i have to use Visual Studio 6.0 and that wont run on Windows 7, but it will run i Windows XP Mode, so that's how i have installed it.

But when i start the XP Mode app. All VMWare images is powered off. I found this article explaining the problem. I now see why things happen, but is there anybody out there who have found a workaround? I know i could install Windows XP in a VMWare Virtual machine and run VS6 there, but it would be nice to know if there were a simple workaround.

No way round with the current version of W7 sorry.

If you're desperate, at the expense of your XP mode and VMWare VMs running slower, you should find that they can co-exist if you turn off Virtualization Technology (VT) in the BIOS.
