I downloaded Virtual Windows XP for Windows 7. How do you increase the colors and RAM usage? Going to [desktop \> right click \> properties], I am only presented with 16 bit colors. And [Tools \> settings] says I have to turn off Virtual XP before I can set the RAM usage. But how in the world do you get to this settings page when it’s turned off?
