Urgent VPC Issues!

Hello.
This information is imperative to me, as the VPC 2007 is needed for a
Microsoft cert class!!!!!!
I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, and I previously installed windows
virtual pc with xp compatability mode. I uninstalled xp mode as well as the
Windows Virtual PC system update to install VPC 2007, making sure to restart
my computer after every install/uninstall. After downloading the 64 bit VPC
2007 from microsoft's website, every time I open the VPC it causes my
graphics to go haywire! They look like less than 8-bit graphics! It returns
to normal after closing the program. I have tried installing the program
mulitple times, and nothing has worked. I have a powerful graphics card, so
that cannot be the issue (I am running windows aero). I made sure that I
installed the correct version, and that xp compatability mode was uninstalled
as well as the Windows Virtual Machine upgrade, so nothing should be
interfering . What is happening to cause this problem?????

Yes I did.
Nothing seems to make it work right.

Why I asked that is because an older version had that problem on Vista...

Check to see if there's an updated video driver for you graphics card on the host.
