Short of buying a whole new Windows copy to install in VirtualBox (which I'm not about to do -- my originally copy from my laptop won't install in VB), I don't know how else to make it work.  But there must be a way.

Have you tried spoofing your user agent in a native browser, as suggested? That's the first thing to try in my opinion. It's certainly the simplest/most reliable method.
