Running FRx in XP Mode with Dual Monitors

I have a user with a new Windows 7 Pro x64 PC.  FRx 6.7 won't run on 64-bit, so we installed it in XP Mode.  FRx while running in XP Mode, however, won't work with dual monitors - you get the "Run-time error 6 - Overflow" error.  I'm able to logon successfully to FRx with only one monitor attached, but get the Overflow error as soon as we try to logon with a second monitor connected.  Does anybody have a fix for this issue?  I've tried the usual suggestions - setup default printer, increase screen resolution, etc.

I've been told that there were problems with FRx in Compatibility Mode and that XP Mode was a more reliable option.  Thanks for the info.
That's right, FRx is not supported on Windows 64-bit, but you could have it working if you follow the above attached document.

I guess I'm going to be reinstalling FRx onto Windows 7 and use Compatibility Mode.  My user is going to be disappointed - she was excited to have a Virutal PC running XP on her Windows 7 computer.  Thanks.
