Hi,
Please install XP Mode first, then install Windows Virtual PC and reboot.
Download them at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
If after performing the two installation, you still cannot find the shortcuts under Windows Virtual PC. You may manually create a shortcut, and the target points to "%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll,LaunchDefaultVM".

My sytem is a custom build AMD FX 8150

The system is all new and windows is genuine.
I have researched the web and tried many things with no luck.
The setup just does not finish.
Any help would be much appreciated as i have a new system that is useless if this don't work.

Did you also read that this hotfix is only applicable to AMD Bulldozer CPUs?"This issue occurs because of a compatibility issue between Windows XP Mode and AMD Bulldozer-based multicore processors."
