Activation of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

Original title: «Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 "+"Virtual operating system licenses"»
I have a Dell PC with Windows XP installed and a CD to reinstall Windows XP. I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and created a virtual machine and install Windows XP on the virtual machine using the CD. Now I need to activate Windows XP on the virtual machine. I guess I only have this copy of XP is installed on one physical machine, and the virtual machine is on the same machine that I have the right to install and activate the copy of Windows XP on the vritual machine. Is this correct?
I have not activated the operating system on the virtual machine in case I am not allowed to activate it and attempts to activate it cause problems.
Another reason, that I have not activated the operating system is because I have installed antivirus software on the virtual machine and I am reluctant to connect to internet with it until I have, or know whehter I need. Outside the activation of XP I won't need internet access on the virtual machine. Is this enough to antivirus on the host computer in order to prevent the infection from the virtual machine?
Thank you in anticipation

  • unspported functioning after you install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 7 64 bit SP1(64bit)

    Hello

    I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1(64bit) from here

    However, I met this errro:

    If the host operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, you cannot load a 64-bit operating system in the virtual machine. The host operating system must be 64-bit to run 64-bit virtual machine.

    Also, if you are running a 64 bit version of Windows 7, then you need to make sure that you have selected the right architecture of Windows Virtual PC on Windows Virtual PC download page.

  • VMWare Server 2 into conflict with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

    I use Windows Vista x 64, when I have a virtual VMWare Server 2.0 open, and then start upward a Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Virtual Machine, VMWare Machine will be output/die. If I already have a MS VPC 2007 open machine, then when I try to start a VMWare VM, I get the following message:


    Unable to connect to the MKS: there is no VMware process running for the C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx configuration file virtual
    Either run "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Server\x64\vmware-vmx.exe C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare virtual Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx" manually on the server.
    or save the configuration file.

    It is likely that VPC 2007 leaves the CPU in operation VMX VMware Server prevents to alternate between legacy and long mode.  Unfortunately, this switch is required for the majority of host/guest under VMware Server 2 configurations.

    I don't know if it is possible to disable VT - x in VPC 2007 support, but if this is the case, maybe it's a work around for this problem.

    He knows issues to consider?

    Should I use VMware Server 2.x instead of 1.x?

    Concerning

    Marius

    On Intel-based systems where the virtual machine is configured to use the VT - x, there are restrictions on the ability to run that hosted VMware products.  If the host operating system is 64-bit, you can run VMware virtual machines while a virtual PC VM is running.  If the host operating system is 32-bit, you can run only 32-bit VMware VMs configured for binary translation while a virtual PC VM is running.  It is also possible to interrupt the host (with reset BSOD or host) If a virtual PC VM is started when a VMware VM is running.

    On material AMD or Intel processor where Virtual PC is not configured to use the VT - x, there should be no problem.

    You cannot use a disk/license update of XP in a Virtual Machine.

  • GAMEPAD NOT WORKING NOT NOT IN VIRTUAL PC 2007

    Mine is a Windows XP PRO SP3. I programmed it for a VIRTUAL PC 2007 using WINDOWS 98 SE, as a former aviation software only runs under WINDOWS 98. I created the VIRTUAL PC, installed the software of aviation which has been very well accepted, but the WINDOWS 98 (VIRTUAL) do not allow or accept the installation of a yoke of joystick or control which are necessary for the flight. WINDOWS XP accepts any joystick or control yoke that I install. I think that VIRTUAL PC does not allow another joystick installation or activation in the game Sport Panel just like WINDOWS XP. In short, VIRTUAL PC does not have an installation of controller of game or activation to icom controller (control Panelof WINDOWS 98) game, just like WINDOWS XP, so I'm not able to fly any aircraft in the created VIRTUAL PC. In addition, the game used in WINDOWS XP controller cannot be operated in the game controller from WINDOWS 98 (VIRTUAL PC). Finally, my joystick and yoke works very well under WINDOWS XP, but not AT ALL in the PC VIRTUAL .fORGIVE my English, because it is not my mother tongue. In short, Virtual pc 2007 disclaims that any installation arcade joystick or control in the game controller of the control panel (in wINDOWS 98) there's NO PROBLEM WITH THE JOYSTICK INSTALLATION WITH WINDOWS XP). Forgive my English because it is not my mother tongue. Can you help me?!

  • Is this OK to start the XP Mode in VirtualBox, VMWare or Virtual PC 2007?

    Is it legal for a Windows 7 Pro license (or better) user to run the Image Mode Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx in VMWare, Virtual Box or Virtual PC 2007, as long as the host operating system is a completely legal to Win7 Pro (or better) copy?

    Hello Shawn,

    The Image in Windows XP Mode will work succcessfully with Virtual PC 2007 with no problems at all.  As for VMWare and Virtual Box, I think it would work successfully.  You should not experience or be concerned by problems of legality by using Virtual PC 2007 to install the Image in Windows XP Mode.  Image in Windows XP Mode has been designed to work with Virtual PC.  As said in a previous post Sanmartin, you'll lose some of the benefits of the integrated using an application of alternative virtualization solution.  If the information provided in this thread helped you get a resolution, please indicate the post as answer.  If by chance you have other questions or concerns, please post them in this thread with yoru investigation.  I look forward to hear from you.  Have a great day.
