Why? you think I'm making it up?

here it goes, anyway https://servimg.com/view/20107521/23

I can't upload it to the forum, it has a ridiculous size limit.

You were only 4kB short of the limit, according to the size of your linked upload. Shrinking down the effective size of the data in the screenshot, by not showing maximized windows, and marshalling screen space properly, will help. Most folks have no trouble getting under the 128kB size limit.

The original screenshot was about 1MB, it got shrinked when I uploaded to to servimg (and lost A LOT of quality already)

try a clean install of 7.0.4 and a new XP VM, install from your XP cd, that might work for you.

Hi,

Lots of folks are running XP on 7.0, but more like on 7.0.8 with 7.0.6 Guest Additions. (7.0.8 GAs have a bug in XP.)

If this doesn't help, @Herby, start your own new topic and describe your problem exactly.
