You seem to be incapabe of taking input.Originally posted by stek View PostTry it - it'll cost you nowt.
As a long-time contractor the first thing I do when I snag a new role is to create a virtual PC with the preferred OS and all the tools loaded. This means my build environment is shielded from the vagaries of hardware changes and makes it readily portable.
As I have repeatedly stated above, this DOES NOT WORK for the piece of software I am currently using so I need concrete suggestions for current laptops that are specifically known to run XP x32.
Thanks for your kind attention,

Smart people don't like being told "it has to be done this way, but I won't tell you why". Maybe you need paid support if you aren't going to explain why you can't follow everyone's advice... how do we know you're more expert at virtualisation than people here?Originally posted by Boo View PostYou seem to be incapabe of taking input.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

So, what's so oddball about this 'app' then? Dongle/FlaxLM. If you don't know just say.
There are no laptops that run this unknown XP x32....
Perhaps you need this?

If you were really trying to help then you would have read my post and either responded with a current model of laptop that you know works with XP x32 or else kept quiet if you don't know one.Originally posted by stek View Post...just trying to help like...

^ Best AnswerOriginally posted by doodab View PostA Lenovo Thinkpad T series should be fine. Most modern business class laptops will have XP drivers available, because many companies still use XP.Comment
