Cannot install XP Mode (this update is not applicable to your computer)

Hello

I am trying to download Windows XP mode to my laptop Windows 7 Professional. When I try to run the "Windows Validation' (WindowsActivationUpdate.exe) reads:"this update is not applicable to your computer"I spent the other Microsoft validation tools, but not one that is an"update ". If I try to display the update in Control Panel to uninstall, it and any other update is listed. What continues?

Thank you, Cam.

  • I get a "cannot install printer because a policy has been enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 driver ' how can I install my printer?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 running Vista 32 bit. I just bought a new printer, a HP Photosmart C4640, when I tried to install and connect I get a message indicating that it cannot install printer as a policy has been activated this block driver NT 4.0. I have run all updates of software and drivers, but still get this message. I've been at this for almost a week now. I've been doing the HP race with regard to aid. I am VERY fusturated at this point and desperately need help. What should I do to make this work?

    Hi jessheffernan2003,

    This problem occurs because Windows Vista does not support the installation of kernel-mode printer drivers. Windows Vista only supports installing user mode printer drivers.

    To work around this problem, try to get and install a printer driver as a user on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. If you can not get the particular user mode printer driver, try to get a driver printer in user mode compatible with the kernel mode printer driver which is hosted on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. To get a printer driver updated for the print device, contact the manufacturer of the printer.

    For more information about your hardware manufacturer, visit the following Web site:
