Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

  • I'm trying to set up my system Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit up to use Windows XP mode.

    original title: XP Mode? HOW?

    I'm trying to set up my system using Windows XP mode 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    I thought that since it was announced box WE the Win7software it would be IN the software! ... Funny that...
    But it's not. So, I go to the page to DOWNLOAD the software.
    I'm greeted by a series of necessary downloads until I can run XP mode.
    I've read all 3 steps of the instructions and felt they were simple enough to not have to print.
    Then I hit the 'step 2 - download windows XP mode' I'm greeted by a validation required DOWNLOAD.
    Ok no problem. My windows 7 is bought in-store (newegg). No pirated software IN my house much less ON my computer. It IS the only authentic.
    So I DOWNLOAD the program validation and the race (install?) it.
    I saw nothing happen after I ran (installed)? He had no visual feedback that he had done a thing.
    So I thought that maybe it runs automatically, so I tried to hit the button "step 3 - virtual pc DOWNLOAD.
    Yet ONCE I am greeted with the same 'Windows required vaidation' pop up.
    ...' excuse me? I thought I had already jumped by THAT hoop...
    Then I hit the button "step 4".
    I try to run the stand-alone program but get a "update is not applicable to your computer" popup.

    I'm sure that my computer can run programs.
    The construction is as follows:

    INTEL - PROCESSOR | CORE I7 2600K 3.4 G 8 M Ram

    Motherboard - GIGABYTE | GA-Z68XP-UD4 Z68 R

    RAM - 16 Gb G.SKILL F3-12800

    Video cards - 2 x EVGA GTX580 3 G of Ram

    Cooling of the processor - ANTEC | KUHLER H2O

    DVD players - 2 x burners Lite on Blue Ray

    Power - COOLER MASTER 1000w

    OS - MS WIN 7 ULTIMATE FULL

    Please... PLEASE tell me how to get this software and run it.
    I have loads of programs that need it.

    BTW - this should be a real HOOT when I set up on my brothers computer. I built it in my house and it doesn't even have an internet connection instead.

    First of all, make sure that your installation of Windows 7 Ultimate already activated:

    Activate Windows 7 on this computer:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/activate-Windows-7-on-this-computer

    If you use another browser other than Internet Explorer to post, try rather IE. You should also try to temporarily disable your Windows Firewall, it is known to cause some problems with validation.

    How to install:

    Make sure you download both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC (download this first and install first).

    After installation of Windows Virtual PC, click Start, type: enable or disable windows features

    Hi enter on your keyboard

    Scroll down and make sure that Windows Virtual PC is checked

    Click OK

    Reboot if prompted

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

    Proceed with the installation of Windows XP Mode.

    All using windows movie maker, I added audio, but I can't hear the music while playing the video... Why is this?

    Hello

    1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

    2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker.

    You can use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
