Hi Guys,
I bought an app that requires IE7 and I cannot find any place that offers a Win7 version.
How may I run IE7 on a Win7 64 Bit OS?
Heck, I cannot even find an IE7 that will run on my Vista 64bit OS!
I read about Virtual PC Is that an option?
If so how is this done?
Thanks for any tips and leads!
