• Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

  When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

  The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

  It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

  I use folder2iso

  To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

• Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

  I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

  According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

  Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

• Do not replace the motherboard, XP installation CD does not start even

  First: I am a complete Windows user no, I program and works exclusively with Linux, so I have little experience with issues licenses and the WGA behavior.  This is probably going to be long, and I apologize.

  The computer of my mother, about 7 years old with less than 500 MB of memory reported and a 1 GHz AMD x86_64 processor, took too long to do something, and I could hear the beating of disc on almost any operation, so at Christmas, I suggested that she order some upgraded hardware.  I checked with her that she had the original installation media, used by the person who set up your computer, and then we ordered a new combination of mother/CPU card and 4 GB of memory.  The new processor is always x86_64 and has an EIDE interface.  The IDE HDD is the master on the IDE one bus, and the CD/DVD device is the slave.

  I followed the instructions to the: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824125

  The first thing that happened is that he told me that this installation media is older than the installed operating system, so it would not be able to perform the 'upgrade', only a new resettlement, which clearly, we do not do so because all the data from my mother is on the single partition on this IDE drive it.  Is it because that is not the original installation disc, or it means that something (perhaps a network-downloaded 'service pack'?) changed software installed to the point that the original install CD doesn't know what to do?  If this is the last, means that install CD are useful that as long as no significant changes are made to the system?

  So, then, I decided to Exchange material anyway and see what happened.  I removed the old motherboard and put in the new, hung the Ribbon IDE and started.  The machine went into a loop of reboot by which it would ISSUE, begin to read the hard disk, flash may be a bit of a boot image from Windows (a fraction of a second, in fact less than a cycle of vertical refresh complete as part of the screen should be painted before disappearing), then a bluescreen with multiple lines of text appeared for a fraction of a second then it should reboot again.  My father suggested sitting in front of it with a camera and try to photograph the text screen so that we can read, but that seemed likely to end in frustration.

  Then, I tried starting the original installation, CD, based on the assumption that I could follow the second set of instructions in this page of Microsoft above and pretend the old motherboard had not experienced a catastrophic without any possibility of preparation failure.  The installation CD, a disc with a holographic surface that is called 'Windows XP Home Edition' and includes the number of '2002' on the face, could not start exactly the same way (the display text could have been different, as both were illegible, but it was about the same amount of text and blinked on the screen in the same a short way until the computer resets).

  I thought that maybe the power supply was insufficient for the new machine, so I tested the material with a Linux boot CD, which started perfectly.  Now, the Linux CD was burned in 2008, not in 2002, it has the advantage of having been written with new hardware platforms in mind.

  I now swapped the old motherboard, and start-up of the computer again to the old, slow down the behavior.  I told her that I have no way to proceed, and that she would have to take all the pieces to a specialist in Windows to do things again.  I have the opportunity to make another attempt in a week, if anyone can tell me how to do this job.

  So, what could I do, or ask him to do, to solve this problem ourselves?  Is it possible to create a CD that can be used to upgrade the old motherboard to the new?  I understand that Windows XP is no longer supported, so I fear that a registered technician may be contractually forbidden to get the job of the computer.  I don't want to put an end to the removal of all of its installed software or lose its settings, bookmarks WWW and so on.

  If I do a fresh install of something, I think that perhaps it would be better just to go in a different way.  I could install Linux on the machine, then set up a KVM virtual machine and install Windows XP in this.  No doubt the virtual material presented by KVM is generic enough that the old CD would be happy to install it, and it would give the advantage of being able to point its Windows State control so that she could always relax while problems due to infections by malicious software or a sloppy software upgrade/installation.  However, I don't know the legality of it.  My mom had a Windows XP computer and this procedure would end with always have a Windows XP computer, but I think that this could still be banned.

  This is the story.  Thanks for the solutions, or some clarification of misconceptions that I could express my very limited experience with Windows-based.

  EDIT: the replacement motherboard is this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138195

  With more that 3 GB of physical RAM installed may or likely to cause a condition of bluescreen when you try to install or repair Windows XP.  It would be wise to limit the amount of installed RAM 3 GB or 2 GB.

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

• I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information

  I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information. and that did not help. What to do now? The comment of Bios makes me fear that it could damage my computer forever. What should do? Help, please

  Hi Alan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the computer does not restart even after running Startup Repair and I will be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made to try to make it work. Let me ask you;

  • How do you run the Startup Repair?
  • Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
  • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  • Have you plugged an external equipment, except the keyboard and mouse?
  • You are able to start the computer in safe mode?
  • What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  There could be several reasons why he's not leaving including hardware as well. In addition, it could be because the master boot record (MBR) has been damaged. When you try to use the Startup Repair tool to repair the MBR, the Startup Repair tool indicates that no problem was found or it does not work yet.

  If you have any connected USB flash drive or other external devices connected to the computer, if you please, remove them and try to run the Startup Repair tool.

  If you haven't tried using Windows 7 repair disc, you can try the following:

  1. Insert the Windows 7 disc
  2. restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
  4. Select your language, click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair.

  You can also perform the system restore by selecting the restore point when you think it worked very well. System Restore, choose advanced options using the disc.

  Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

  I also recommend to contact the computer manufacturer to get the done diagnostic equipment.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• the Windows xp Setup program does not detect my hard drive

  When I try to install Windows XP, it does not detect my hard drive which is visible in the bios.  My bios options are very limited, but I was able to use the bios to change the sata in ide.  It still does not work, and now he is not found with the disc of windows 7 I have.  This isn't a new pc.  He was working at a given time, but foolishly, I formatted the hard drive and have no drivers for my drive hard hitachi.  I bought a new seagate Mak, but now this disc hard is not allocated and is also not detected.  I have no way to get an operating system and I'm in a jam financially... Please help.

  SATA drives are not recognized by Windows XP installation disc.  Change the BIOS SATA ATA sometimes solves this problem and allows you to install and sometimes does not.  Microsoft's solution is to press the F6 key when you are prompted for additional drivers, and then insert a floppy disk (Yes, it takes a floppy) with the top driver.

  "Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314859 >

  Several means have been formulated to work around needing a floppy disk.  You can view the following items:

• Need help, use the control Timer my application does not start

  Hello guys

  I have problems, follow the example signals and Slots, but when my application is running, it does not start.

  If I delete all the code that deals with the Timer control, it's working again, my theory is that the CustomTimer library does not stunts

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  My guess is many people have followed this during the first startup, I certainly did and it worked for me.

  It's probably something simple, missed, without seeing your code it's going to be difficult to diagnose.

  My first advice is always to check the log and see if messages are coming that may be related.
