xp mode

All right, so I've got Windows 7 Ultimate RC 32 bit and I have the Virtual PC in XP Pro mode. I downloaded Virtual PC thinking that I could play my old games that don't work in 7 on it. Every time I try to run the games however, it says that it doesn't have a graphics card and won't run the...

I have a question about Virtual PC running in XP mode. I have an old HP Scanjet 4300c (from Windows 98:D) that I was able to use when I had XP. When I upgraded to VISTA 32 bit in no longer worked because HP did not upgrade drivers for it. Now the questions is this. When I upgrade to Windows...

I want to cross check if my application is running under "WinXP" mode in Windows 7. Is there any native API available to perform the same. The use case - My application runs on Win Xp but can't run on Win7 due to library which doesn't support Win 7. Before I decide to switch to new...

I'm looking to go 64-bit with the new Windows 7. However, I have some old games that probably wont like that. Virtualization is the easiest answer it seems. I know what Windows 7 Business has a Windows XP mode. However, Microsoft said that it will not be optimized for 3D applications. Does...

You had good reason to stick with XP and skip the Vista experience entirely. But now that the folks at Microsoft have created a new operating system that's worth moving to, they haven't made the upgrade easy, because you have to perform a clean install of the OS. Here are the issues you need to...

If I load windows 7 64bit, and install windows xp mode, will I be able to run the virtual XP in 32bit mode or will I be forced to use a 64bit virtual? It seems like I should be able to use either one, but i wanted to find out for sure before I reinstall to load the 64bit version. I'm currenty...

I am planning to build a new rig and enpower it with Windows 7 , professional version . I know that Windows 7 provides a WinXP mode to users, which can be ran seamlessly in Win7's VHD. Microsoft also provides a pre-built WinXP image [ WindowsXPMode_xxx.exe ] to users . However, can i...

I have windows 7 ultimate (64-bit) Build 7100, and I have installed XPmode and Virtual PC and everything works great. There are a couple of applications I have to use in XPmode, but for the most part I have no problem connecting a disconnecting devices to my XP Mode VM using the little VM bar...

Hi all I apologise in advance if this has already been discussed or answered elsewhere on this forum. I have a Genius HR6X Slimline scanner which worked on my old XP OS but since upgrading to W7 RC it says it does not support it. I was then told to install XP Mode and Virtualization files so...

Hey everyone, I just upgraded my Mobo and CPU and installed Virtual Machine and XP mode so I could use my Nostromo game pad for COD WAW and it installed fine but when I go to load the game I get an error telling me to insert the correct disk in the drive. WTF? It sees the disk in the drive on...

I have a Visioneer scanner (model 9120 USB). It worked perfectly under Windows XP Pro SP2. I then upgraded the OS to Windows Vista. The driver provided by Visioneer (designed for XP) could not be recognized by Vista. So I upgraded the OS again to Windows 7 RTM Ultimate. Still can't recognize...

I am using a lexmark x1200 printer, attached to a dell optiplex desktop. I used this printer with xp no problem. I installed 7, and it says no printer attached. I downloaded the newest driver from lexmark (for vista), tried to install, the install program from lexmark can't find the printer...

After upgrading from build 7229 to build 7264 I cannot find the icon to start XP Mode. I have looked under the start menu folder 'Windows Virtual PC' and I see my XP program icons I have installed but there is nothing there to start XP mode. I am afraid if I reinstall the XP Mode virtual server...

Long story short - I installed win7 and it's running flawlessly so far. XP Mode works too. Sort of. Whenever i try to copy something from win7 to XP (basically, xp drivers for my laptop) it just freezes indefinately. Whats up with that? I'll try copying the files to a USB flashdrive and then...

On normal Windows XP 32-bit, most 16-bit programs run fine. This is because of Windows on Windows executable (wowexec.exe). However on 64 bit machines, Windows on Windows (WoW64.exe) only supports 32-bit virtualization, not 16-bit. Using the new XP Mode alongside with Windows Virtual PC, can...

Im running Windows 7 Build 7229. I want to try out XP mode. But the intel thing says i don't support virtuilization software. And xp mode will not run. Is there a way i can make this run. Because why won't microsofts virtuilization software work when the sunbox or whatever worked in vista.

If I have windows 7 64 bit installed, what should I install for XP Mode, 64 bit or 32 bit? and which Virtual PC, 64 bit or 32 bit? Whatever I have read so far, Microsoft states that XP mode provides a 32 bit environment in XP mode. How is that possible when I install both in 64 bit. Any help in...
