***** ?!?!

Finally!
I hope this also works with early Longhorn's!

It can use aero because it now uses the real graphics card AFIAK.

Now going back to WPC and not VMWare.
(VMWare for other things I will keep it).

Now for testing if the x64 builds work in it.

Also everybody is in luck if they want to use the date remember function, it should work.
The .vmc file is in:

%Username%\Appdate\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC

Just edit the .vmc file you want and save it.
It should work, I haven't test it my self yet.

EDIT:
Even if you install the WVPC in you're x64 windows, the WVPC still can't run any 64-bit OS's, this is disappointing.

You sure? I assumed it was like the RDP Aero system supposedly present in 7 (I say supposedly, because I don't have two 7 systems to try it with) where the host renders 7's glass thanks to libraries on both sides. Not sure it'll work with anything but 7's DWM, but would like to be proven wrong..

I think you are right hounsell, I installed vista but the RTM, not SP1.

It detected all hardware, including a new intergrated graphics card (WVPC video card).
I am going to try Vista SP1 tomorrow and Windows 7.

Actually RDP works with Aero on Vista
i use it alot
however it has some bugs on Windows 7 sometimes it dosnt load or it stops loading thw Aero theme.

This stinks, I have Intel Core 2 Duo T5270 which doesn't have Intel VT. When I asked my dad for a Core 2 Duo laptop, I didn't mean for him to buy the cheapest Core 2 Duo laptop he can find.

u can upgrade the prosser u know..its not sodderd to the MB..

and cor 2's are relatively cheep now a days..

newegg

Cheapest one on newegg:
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1GHz = $209.99 Ouch
FSB 800MHz
Socket P

ouch..i was thinking intel was useing a single sockit over the entire line..

meaning u could use a cheeper desktop core 2 in your laptop

looks like i was wrong LOL =P

I thought for Remote Desktop Connection you need the OS with Aero as host.

what do u mean?

do u mean u were able to git areo on a guest on a host that DOSENT support areo?

It doesn't work on my pc (Build 7100)

Do you have VT in CPU?

@xeeynamo:

Run the securable.exe

If it's 32/64, Yes, Yes, then it runs.
Otherwise go into the BIOS and and look if there is anything in the settings (most BIOS have it in Advanced Settings) that says, Hardware Virtualization or something and set it to enabled.

And they run the securable again, and if it then is good, try to run it again.

My cpu support HV, but i don't see any option of this in the bios

It should be enabled already.

Otherwise it should be 64 - Yes - No.


Try again, maybe the installer is corrupt.

Otherwise you can install you're own XP and install the integration components.
It should also work
Off-course with SP3.

BTW, my machine doesn't have Intel VT but the XP VHD works with Virtual PC 2007 with some modifications.

A question about the new Windows Virtual PC.

It doesn't support floppy disks anymore, it the function removed or something?
Too old?

The BIOS still supports it, but the program doesn't.

This is exactly what I was about to ask. Floppy support is in the BIOS but there doesn't seem to be any way at all to enable it that I can find. Can't even boot from a usb floppy of course. It seems an odd choice to ditch support for them so surely there is a way.
(Personally I wanted to see if BeOS would run again...)

Installed but if i want to run the others applications of xp (for example the old mspaint) from a shortcut? Oh, Virtual Windows XP doesn't support fullscreen's dos apps

How did you get the windows explorer?

I only get the shortcut's for recently installed applications on my start-menu.

can someone help me?

It's just not working over here. I did a complete new install of build 7100 x86 some days ago, installed some stuff and tried the XP mode this morning. I rebooted lots of times and it won't open. I just get the following message:



Can someone tell me why it is not working? Everything is working properly. I have enough free space (70 GB on C:), all necessary drivers are working, and my hardware should not be the reason why it's not working (AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+, ATi HD4670, enough HDDs and enough free space, ...). Or does it just work with Intel CPUs?

And has someone an idea whether I can find a solution in the System event log? I never worked with this utility.

You're hardware is the fault.

The message clearly says:



Translated:
Either hardware-assisted virtualization (or just virtualization) in the BIOS is NOT enabled or the processor doesn't support AMD-V.

I think the processor or motherboard doesn't support it.

How many times you will try, if the hardware doesn't support it (you computer must be newer then about ~ 1 1/2 years) it will not run.

did you enable virtualization in the BIOS?
If you read the above posts... it would tell you to do that first...
I have the 4200+ also, and it works fine for me...

Thank you for this fast reply. I didn't know that it's linked to my hardware features because I always ran Virtual PC on older builds So I got no chance to get in running with my current hardware.
And I guess I already found the problem. Wikipedia says and my Athlon 64 X2 is on a socket 939


But I think lots of companies got such "old" (3yo) computers like mine. So lots of them won't be able to use that feature. And companies with newer computers are already using Vista because they got this performance. I don't think that this XP mode will be very successful.
