Problem of Windows 7 mode and Virtual PC XP

A few months ago, I bought a laptop. It was the vista operating system. I was told I could easily upgrade to Windows 7 Professional and activate the XP mode, so that I can run some of my business software that can only run in XP mode. They gave me a free upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium with the purchase of my new laptop computer.

Yesterday, my upgrade from Windows 7 Home premium arrived. I installed and then bought the online upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. After professional installation, I tried to activate Windows XP mode and I discovered that my Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessor does not support virtualization technology to run windows XP mode 7.

The place I bought the laptop has agreed to take my laptop and give me a refund. My question is how can I make sure that I don't have to pay for him any time upgrade to the professional version when I get my new computer with the right type of microprocessor?

Being understood that the question and your post has nothing to with Windows Update features (compared to the upgrade of Windows), see Windows XP Mode requirements article here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7

If return you the computer to Vista & then go to Win7 Home Premium, you should be able to use the Win7 Pro Upgrade Anytime to another eligible computer.

  • Windows XP mode and Windows Virtual PC

    My old system crashed (looked like 15 years in any case lol) and a low-cost system now has the SATA card and readers, but my old HD is ok. My new system is installed with Windows 7 Ultimate, but my old HD has WinXP with all my music, games and other software. I'll get the IDE to SATA Adapter block, but in any case, here's my question... I want to reuse my old IDE hd with all my files from WinXP on it and I did a reading in this Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC and I would like to know if someone is using this download mode of Windows XP to Windows 7 and what questions have known and if it is worth, but for me it would be worth cause I had some problems with my (x 86) software from the re - install it on my Windows more recent system 7 and Win7 is a big update for me and my new system only cost me about the same price it would just go out and buy Windows 7 Ultimate lol.  The experiences and knowledge of Windows XP mode on Windows 7 would be helpful thanks in advance...

  • Problem installing Windows XP Mode in 7 Winjdows

    I have a problem installing Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Pro 64 running on a Dell Latitude E6510 laptop with an i5 processor and 8 GB of ram.  This machine supports hardware virtualization, and it is enabled in the BIOS.

    Before downloading software in XP Mode, the MS download required Windows validation Web site.  Downloaded and reported validation validation and a successful installation.  Then I downloaded Windows XP Mode (WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe, 481 052 KB) installation package and the package of Windows Virtual PC (Windows6 1 - KB958559 - x 64 - RefreshPkg.msu, 16 692-Ko).  Then, I installed Windows XP Mode; the installation ran without any problems apparent and reported success.
    According to the docs of download site, the next step is to: "... click on the Windows 7 start button , and then select all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin the installation."
    My problem is Windows Virtual PC does not appear anywhere in the selection of all programs list - believe me, I looked.  There is, however, a new directory called
    c:\ProgramFiles\Windows XP Mode\
    but it contains no exe file.  It contains a file of 1.2 GB called Windows XP Mode base.vhd - but it is not clear what to do with it.  There is also a tutorial subdirectory.
    I tried to reinstall Windows XP Mode (without uninstalling first) but I just get a warning message that the program is already installed.  Windows XP Mode appears on the list "Uninstall or change a program" in the module programs and features in Control Panel.
    I tried running (Windows6. 1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu(Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu, goal that throws error 0x8007000d, "The data is invalid."
    If at this point, my question is simple, "what to try next?
    Thanks in advance.

    The right way to install Windows XP Mode, you must first install Windows Virtual PC, and then install Windows XP Mode.

    You must install both files:

    1 Windows6. 1 - KB958559 - x 64 or x 86 architecture that you run

    Restart the system, and then install:

    2 WindowsXPMode_en-we

    ------------

    Uninstall Windows XP Mode:

    Click Start, type: programs and features

    Press enter on your keyboard

    Scroll down

    Select Windows XP Mode

    Click Change/uninstall in the command bar

    Uninstall Windows XP Mode

    -----------------

    Restart your computer

    Proceed with the installation of Windows XP Mode in the right order.

    --------------

  • I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I try the windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware device 3D

    I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.

    Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).

    In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).

  • Windows XP Mode and regular updates?

    Is there a reason to run windows update (update the operating system software) while running in windows xp mode. I hope I made that clear, let me explain more. I am running win 7 pro 64-bit. I've updated regularly. I run also some programs in win xp

    Yes.
     
    It is just Windows XP running as a virtual machine.  He has access to everything you want to give access to and must be treated as another computer.

  • Problem between Windows XP Home and Windows 7 Starter of file sharing

    Hello, I have a problem with file sharing: my desktop computer running Windows XP Home Edition and my netbook runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    On Windows XP, I shared a folder: Win 7 is able to open the directory and the files in the list, but there is no way I can open any file in the folder XP, nor that I can transfer the any of these files to my netbook.
    All I get is an error "access denied."

    The XP Workgroup is the same as the 7 home network, and the users have all the privileges on both computers.

    Can you help me to sort out what is happening, please?
    Thank you.
    B.

    As a first step, you have XP Home, which means that the 'Simple file sharing' is applied on this machine.  In addition, this means that any network connection on your XP Home of any another machine machine is forced to authenticate you as a user 'Guest', regardless of what a privilege that may be the real user.  In from here, it would seem that the 'Guest' user doesn't have privilege for the files or folders that you share.  To resolve this problem, you must change the access permissions to these files.

    If you drag (move) files on your computer in your share folder, the origin on the file permissions will be maintained.  On the contrary, I would say that you copy the file to the shared folder by dragging with the right button of the mouse and select 'Copy' instead of 'move '.  A copied file will end with permissions for the destination folder that will be generally more suitable for sharing.

    To the files and folders that are already in this folder, to change permissions, you must Access the 'Security' tab under the Properties screen.  In XP Home, this is possible if you log in as administrator in "safe" mode  To start your computer in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 during the startup key key), connect you as an administrator user, navigate to the file or the folder with problems of access, right-click on it, select 'Properties', select the 'Security' tab and set security such as 'everyone' (or 'guest') has the privilege of access you want.

    Hello

    Recently, I noticed that the music that I transferred from my laptop on my desk wouldn't play. Yet the file can be opened and played in quicktime and itunes. I thought that maybe the files were corrupt, I got them again (it was the Street fighter x Megaman OST). I uninstalled windows MediaPlayer and re installed. that did not work also. I even downloaded a codec pack, but he seems to have no effect on wmp.
