Update 2:
Last attempt to let it run on vmware workstation, I did a clean install of windows XP SP3, without any network hardware selected at installation. Even with that configuration the installation process was not successfully.
I installed windows XP mode from microsoft, here the installation passes good (also windows XP version 2002 SP3) , i will now test the hardware insterfaces and hopfully it will work as i should be.
Regards.
--- UPDATE 3:
The USB device has problems to start in windows XP mode from microsoft, even with USB2.0. 
Here the software itself is running well.
I imported the XP virtual machine in VMware workstation, here only the windows is imported without the software installed on...
When I installed STEP7 on this system, same problem with blocking service....
Still no solution....
-------UPDATE 4:
Finally I have system that works:
Windows XP MODE + the drivers for the USB adapter Version 2.0!!!! works fine.
Also Using the ehternet connection to go online works also fine.
If somone has a solution to run the software on vmware, please post it! Thanks.
