InInstall ' 32-bit win XP' under ' 64 bit Win 8.1 "in a" Virtual Box"

  • I have my own old copy of Windows XP.
  • My current operating system is 64-bit Windows 8.1
  • I have some software that only works on 32 bit windows.
    • Can I install my 32 bit Windows XP in a "Virtual box or Machine" or "Hyoer-V" in a 64-bit Windows 8.1 environment?

Yes, you can run Windows XP in Virtual Box or Hyper-V (if your processor supports).

Windows 8 integrates into hypervisor called Hyper-V.

This requires that your processor supports the translation of the secondary addresses.

To see if your processor is supported:

Press the Windows key + X

Click on programs and features

Click on turn Windows features on or off

See if you can check off Hyper-V and all its options of void

If this isn't the case, it does not support Hyper-v.

You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  • translation of binary 64 bit is not supported in a virtual machine (automatic deployment)

    So I'm having some problems with a lab to deploy VMware Auto.

    In the processor for the vCenter VM settings, check the box of "Exposing material assistance to the guest operating system virtualization."  (This setting is not available in the classic c# client.  You must use the web client). See nested running VMs.

  • 32 bit and XP printer impact using virtual mode

    This virtual XP mode is a W - 7 Ultimate 64 bit and works well with a couple of 32-bit devices, one of them a scanner photos or slides to digital conversion, and other 32-bit programs.

    My system is a Lenovo laptop TP61p with a mini dock where I have access to a parallel port.

    If I boot from a HARD drive with pure W - XP pro SP3 I am able to print on the Epson LQ-1050 + quite well impact printer. Even from Vista SP2 from B. It is also prove that the printer cables are OK

    But I would like to avoid disk swapping and do the same thing through the XP - Windows 7 SP1 virtual Pro Mode. The program installed the printer OK and I can hear it during initialization when the system is turned on, but I can not even a test print. LTP-1 is correctly set up.

    Y at - it a hack or a policy that could solve the problem? How can I make this work?

  • VMWare ESXi under Virtual Box tests

    Hi all

    Just installed VMWare ESXi under VirtualBox with a free license to evaluate it before you consider moving my XCP it based VMs. However, after installation I can't pull up a single VM.

    I just create a 32-bit VM Debian base and fixed the Debian netinstall ISO on the CD player. However, when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it runs for a few seconds before turning off.

  • Download Win 7 hangs at unpacking the box

    I downloaded Window 7 Ultimate upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium. both are 64-bit.  Download gives me 3 files - and the exe file and 2 files from the box.  When I click on the exe file, it opens a message that says "Unloading the Box" and displays a progress bar with the description ' preparation: C:\Users\Alan\Downloads\expandedSetup\Win7Setup.wim.»   And it hangs there forever - all night and much more.  Do I have to re-download or is there a solution that works best?

    My system is a HP pavilion dv6t-3100 CTO, execution of windows 7 Premium Home, with 8 G of memory, 160G of SSHD.

    Any ideas would be really appreciated!

    Why not just use the product key that you got your purchase of Windows 7 Ultimate and use Windows Anytime Upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate? You can't make a room upgrade using the Windows 7 Ultimate installation files anyway, for its best that you just used the product key and Windows Anytime Upgrade

    In Windows 7 Home Premium, click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, follow the on-screen Wizard, enter the key of Windows 7 ultimate on demand, click on, and then restart your computer when you are prompted. Less than 10 minutes, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and your files and settings retained.

  • Out with the old WinXP box in with Win 7 - recognition problems 2008 Server box

    Our box office WinXP was finally cut off (the last, all the others are Win 7).  I built a new area of Win 7/64 with Windows 7 Professional.  I was able to transfer all the old stuff from WinXP on the server by using the parameters of conduct transfer agent.

    I plugged the new Win 7 box and everything works fine.  However, I can't get our Win 2008 Server to recognize the new box.  User dave is there but the server does not see the new box.

    Q: should I remove user "dave", and then reinstall a new "dave" at the server level?  Seems that I would lose settings, etc. like this.

    I've been going through Hester and Henley on Admin book, but nothing comes out with me.

    If you have configured Active Directory, then you should be able to join your domain from the Windows 7 machine as you would for Windows XP. Please note that you may experience problems if your Local network connection is firewall, as well as temporarily disable and try again.

  • Hard to get win install me in a virtual machine

    I need to have Win XP installed on a Win 7 laptop to run the company issued VPN software. The single XP disc I have is an upgraded version of the House, which isn't really a big deal.

    When initially, I installed VMWare Player this morning, I jumped my upgrade XP disc in (forgetting that it was an upgrade and not a complete OS) and the system has started the installation as usual, got the blue screen of Windows in my virtual machine installation, and installation took place right until the moment when she had to remind me that he was not a previous operating system installed, which pushed a 'Oh' of me , and a return to the House of my Win ME to full installation disc.

    When I try to install Me, the new virtual machine recognizes that there is me install the drive in my d: drive, but when he starts to put up the virtual machine, it does not autorun installation disc. A BACK screen opens, and I get messages saying: AMD Network Boot and trying to install from a MAC address of the client before you don't say 'no received startup file. Then I get a message saying "Exit Intel PXE ROM", followed of a message that says "Not found operating system".

    What I'm doing wrong here?

    The WinME installation disc was not bootable.  You should have a BACK bootable diskette that accompanies it.  Boot from the floppy (with support of the CD-ROM), run fdisk to partition the virtual hard disk, and then run Setup from the WinME CD.  If you do not have the boot BACK disk, you can find images of floppy disks BACK on the Internet.

    Otherwise, no not the upgrade CD allow you to burst in the WinME CD to check the upgrade eligibility, without installing WinME?

  • Win XP (Pro) - the correct virtual memory size

    Hello

    May I know what is the optimal size for the virtual memoray in MB when the Advance system setting?

    The default size of the system to the optimal size is?

    What happens when it is too beneath and above the optimum size?

    I need my PC to get the best visual effect and fast and accurate performance.

    Thank you

    Low

    No one can tell you that, without more information on your system.

    They can guess and suggest things like the committed Microsoft Support Engineer "experts":

    'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value.

    Who has no sense at all, but it is advice from these committed Microsoft alleged Support Engineer "experts."

    Increase by 10, 100, 1000, a meelion?

    If your pagefile is out of whack, you might see something like that:

    Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

    If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

    My notes:

    At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

    Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

    The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

    System managed size

    Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

    Note the current setting, so you can change things later if you have a problem.

    If it is already done, on the size of swap file:

    System managed size

    Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK several times to save the settings and then restart your computer.

    Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

    If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

    "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

    All the advice to 'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value' are misinformed ideas that come from not knowing how to work XP - How do you increase it and what happens if you increase too?

    If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

    The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

    If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings and need help looking at your stuff, follow these steps:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.
