• Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC > XP Mode > XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP becomes inaccessible?

  Lost all files in XP mode is "My Docs" XPMUser because I can't connect? Same situation. Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC > XP Mode > XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP instance become inaccessible? Like many here, I have activated integration and where then asked for a password on the next reboot of the XP Mode. The password that I usually use has not been accepted. I tried all the possible solutions (have "integration" disabled, start with virtual XP safe mode), but not able to change my password XPmode so don't chance NO connection.  I have brand new instance of XP Mode works, but obviously does not have access to the CASE of XP Mode instance. My question is simple: where are the files that I created and saved in the default location of the first modes XP XPMUser "My Documents" in Windows 7? I tried Win7 for XP 'My documents' files by names or names of game but no luck.  Help, please.

  It is located in the file XP Mode VHD (Virtual Hard Drive), you can look as pretty as a ZIP file that contains a structure of entire disk rather than just a few files.  This VHD file is usually stored in your user folder in a folder of Virtual Machines, for example mine was in the C:\Users\SKeene\Virtual Machines.

  And it's my cheesy guilty pleasure wishes to inform you that you can browse this file as if it were a hard drive, without having to start the XP mode.  However, security applies: If your 'My documents' has been limited, it might be difficult to access (even if you pouvez be able to take possession of the file and gain access).
  Here's how:
  1. Open the Start Menu, right-click on computer and select manage. In the maintenance window of the computer that opens, choose "disk management".
  2. On the right side, click "More action" and then click "Attach VHD" and select your XP Mode VHD file.  You might consider making a backup of the file copy of the hard drive virtual before do you it, just in case!
  3. Once you have connected the virtual hard drive, an Autorun dialog box may appear.  If this is not the case, simply click on Start/computer to see your new 'Local disk '.

  At least, I can confirm that it worked perfectly for me, and I had access to my account "User XPMode" alongwith without problem.

• XP drivers for Virtual PC - beta mode XP de Windows 7 RC necessary?

  Is it necessary to install drivers XP for Virtual PC - beta mode XP de Windows 7 RC? Or is it enough to install the drivers for Windows 7 RC only? Also, can I connect to the internet using the XP mode beta as I can simultaneously access Internet beta mode Windows 7 RC and XP?

  Basically, it will work like that.

  When you download Virtual PC (XP mode), you will need to install the current Windows XP in Virtual PC as if it were another computer. As if you were running the program under Windows 7, XP mode will give you 'seemless' support. (in reality, Virtual PC will run it), but don't look or act like him. So, as you install Windows XP, you need to install the Windows XP drivers in Windows XP.

  I hope that answers your question.

  Hello

  Thanks for the post.

  Disconnect any attached external devices.

  If you use a third-party antivirus disable and then install updates and check.

  Temporarily turn off the firewall and antivirus software and try to install the updates.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-Vista

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If this does not help, then I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and then install. Start your computer in a clean boot state, you can reduce conflicts between software and help identify the root cause of the problem. You can read this article for more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: after the resolution of the problem, reset the computer to start as usual. Refer to the step How to configure the computer to start as usual after a boot minimum troubleshooting under more information.

• Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

  I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

  Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

  I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  TIA!

  Katie

  To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

  Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

• I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

  I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

  A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

  Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

  You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
  If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
  Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

• BofA charge only mode WINDOWS safe - once in normal mode after that

  FF 36.0.4 B of A does not - just clocks. WINDOWS (7) starting in safe mode, it works just fine all right. In fact, return to normal WINDOWS, it will work 1 time. After nada as it just of clocks. Eventually it will show the error code: ssl_error_inappropriate_fallback_alert. Empty cache, restarting, nothing works. Any ideas?

  Thanks again for the reply - aid in this community is still pending. I solved the problem and it's weird. I went back with msconfig to get Bitdefender in the boot sequence and somehow, there was another instance of Bitdefender pointing to the same registry key - they were two identical execution orders. I'm at a loss as to how two arrived in the Startup tab. In any case, I just activated an and everything came back to life. Weird. Thanks again and this explains why other browsers were not able to connect either.

  Francisco,

  You could simply stop the Microsoft Essentials if it's getting in the way.

  Prevent the Microsoft Antimalware Service starts automatically

  If you cannot find the software under the name mentioned in the article, locate the service called Windows Defender.

  The same rule applies: set the service to manual start or disable the service.

  =========================================================================

  Opinions differ on the question of whether Microsoft Essentials / Defender should indeed be removed or If disabling services is sufficient.

  Pouvez Avast! Pro co-exist with MS Security Essentials?

  My 8.1 or OS systems, Windows Defender has been disabled (together) - no problems with Avast first.

  For your peace of mind, you may contact Avast and ask their opinion with reserve.

  All the ma, but two of my servers run under VMs on Hyper-V.  The other two are running on (remote) VMware enterprise configurations.  Everything works beautifully.   I use Ethernet Server series brands such as Moxa or Pearl for any devices that are not native ethernet.  I even ran Ethernet USB on a few occasions, but that can be risky.
