Virtual PC-Win XP Mode doesn't support MS-Netfram soft. In fact trbo cps and new elp cps are not running.

XTS/XTL CPS, APX CPS, and TRBO CPS run natively on WIN7 64BIT.

I had some issues with some older software like the 1225 series in virtual mode. We opted to simply replace PCs and reload with our original Windows XP discs.

The only problem that I have experienced was using a USB to serial adapter connected to an RKN4075C ribless cable. In XP Mode, I had communications errors but it worked fine if I ran CPS directly under Windows 7 64-bit. Connecting directly to a serial port worked fine in both modes.
