virtual pc

Ever since I first got my Windows 7 machine, I have been able to run the XP mode virtual machine without problem. A few months ago, I started getting a message that the XP mode couldn't come up without integration problems, or something like that. I was able to dismiss the message and have WinXP...

I recently installed the newest edition of VirtualPC on my Win7 ultimate machine. Having used VPC 2007 in the past, I was expecting a similar experience. Only to be disappointed when I installed a VM of Win7 Pro, and it was extremely slow. The processor speed reported was 5 Mhz. I find this...

I've found that it's much better (in my case) to run without integration features enabled on an XP VM. When I have them enabled, the following happens: - Can't do Start->Shutdown (it's removed from the menu) - Sometimes hangs if you click the Close icon (and have it set to shutdown) - CPU...

I'm running a Win7 Pro x64 host on a fast machine with 16GB of memory, so I'm not suspecting the host. The guest VM is an XPsp3 with 3GB of memory assigned to it. I'm using Win 7's Virtual PC (not "XP Mode", this was an old VM I brought along from my old PC) to run this VM. I don't have...

Hello. My situation is very common and simple: I'm running Windows XP mode within 7. I want to access a physical (non-virtual) drive with decent security precautions. As stated in Windows Virtual PC Help So, I want read-only access from XP. Besides messing with rights in XP (both cumbersome and...

I have an HP Pavilion laptop (dv7-3085dx), running W7 pro 64 bit. For months I had problems with selecting and uploading images. I thought this was just a problem with some older apps until I got a new Win7 PC at work and have not had these problems. Issues history: Graphics s/w - A free...

I am thinking about buying Win7 but want to clarify the feature "XP Mode". As you know Win7 Home contains in contrast to Windows 7 Pro no "XP mode". So I wonder what exactly this "XP mode" is. If I take Win7 Home then install VirtualPC and install WinXP inside as a guestOS VM. Is this the...
