Virtual PC 2007, former program back (PSPICE), Hardware Lock

When I bought my new PC with Vista Business 64 bit (SP2, now), I didn't know that I could not run my old program back (PSPICE). Replacement cost of the software is $ 5000. I would like to find a way to run this software on this machine (I keep my old XP 32-bit, SP3 machine alive do turn this software). I tried DOSbox, but it doesn't seem to be able to read the material lock (connected to the serial port). So I was wondering if this Virtual PC 2007 might work. I wanted to just ask you the question before going through the installation process. Thank you

You could try Disk2VHD (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx)...  With it, you can clone your XP machine in a virtual machine, and then boot from your Vista machine to the clone.  I don't know if he's going to read the serial port.  You also need to activate the clone.
 
Alternatively, you can ask here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprovirt/threads), which has all the VPC experts there.

  • GAMEPAD NOT WORKING NOT NOT IN VIRTUAL PC 2007

    Mine is a Windows XP PRO SP3. I programmed it for a VIRTUAL PC 2007 using WINDOWS 98 SE, as a former aviation software only runs under WINDOWS 98. I created the VIRTUAL PC, installed the software of aviation which has been very well accepted, but the WINDOWS 98 (VIRTUAL) do not allow or accept the installation of a yoke of joystick or control which are necessary for the flight. WINDOWS XP accepts any joystick or control yoke that I install. I think that VIRTUAL PC does not allow another joystick installation or activation in the game Sport Panel just like WINDOWS XP. In short, VIRTUAL PC does not have an installation of controller of game or activation to icom controller (control Panelof WINDOWS 98) game, just like WINDOWS XP, so I'm not able to fly any aircraft in the created VIRTUAL PC. In addition, the game used in WINDOWS XP controller cannot be operated in the game controller from WINDOWS 98 (VIRTUAL PC). Finally, my joystick and yoke works very well under WINDOWS XP, but not AT ALL in the PC VIRTUAL .fORGIVE my English, because it is not my mother tongue. In short, Virtual pc 2007 disclaims that any installation arcade joystick or control in the game controller of the control panel (in wINDOWS 98) there's NO PROBLEM WITH THE JOYSTICK INSTALLATION WITH WINDOWS XP). Forgive my English because it is not my mother tongue. Can you help me?!

    Craig

    Windows 8 does not support Virtual PC 2007 (which was abandoned). Instead, Windows 8 Professional and Enterprise editions have now supported Hyper-V integrated. You will need a CPU Hyper-V compatible (I found the average hard disk is not the same as support for hardware virtualization, they are two different things). In addition, you must manually enable the Hyper-V feature on Windows features page in Add/Remove Programs (left)

  • Virtual PC 2007 running Server 2003

    I just installed Server 2003 in Virtual PC 2007 but I can't login.  He said press CTRL-ALT-DEL to connect but when I do it opens the Task Manager in the host (XP Pro) system.  The cursor is certainly in the virtual machine (I know that press right SHIFT to return to home and click inside the VM to go back) when I try to log on to it.

    Thanks in advance.

    After clicking on the inside of the virtual, press 'Alt' + 'Delete' right only.  This simulates the ctrl, alt, del to the virtual machine.

  • I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

    How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

    An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

  • VMWare Server 2 into conflict with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

    I use Windows Vista x 64, when I have a virtual VMWare Server 2.0 open, and then start upward a Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Virtual Machine, VMWare Machine will be output/die. If I already have a MS VPC 2007 open machine, then when I try to start a VMWare VM, I get the following message:


    Unable to connect to the MKS: there is no VMware process running for the C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx configuration file virtual
    Either run "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Server\x64\vmware-vmx.exe C:\Users\Rusty\Documents\VMWare virtual Machines\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vmx" manually on the server.
    or save the configuration file.

    It is likely that VPC 2007 leaves the CPU in operation VMX VMware Server prevents to alternate between legacy and long mode.  Unfortunately, this switch is required for the majority of host/guest under VMware Server 2 configurations.

    I don't know if it is possible to disable VT - x in VPC 2007 support, but if this is the case, maybe it's a work around for this problem.

  • Is this OK to start the XP Mode in VirtualBox, VMWare or Virtual PC 2007?

    Is it legal for a Windows 7 Pro license (or better) user to run the Image Mode Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx in VMWare, Virtual Box or Virtual PC 2007, as long as the host operating system is a completely legal to Win7 Pro (or better) copy?

    Hello Shawn,

    The Image in Windows XP Mode will work succcessfully with Virtual PC 2007 with no problems at all.  As for VMWare and Virtual Box, I think it would work successfully.  You should not experience or be concerned by problems of legality by using Virtual PC 2007 to install the Image in Windows XP Mode.  Image in Windows XP Mode has been designed to work with Virtual PC.  As said in a previous post Sanmartin, you'll lose some of the benefits of the integrated using an application of alternative virtualization solution.  If the information provided in this thread helped you get a resolution, please indicate the post as answer.  If by chance you have other questions or concerns, please post them in this thread with yoru investigation.  I look forward to hear from you.  Have a great day.

    Thank you

    Original title: «Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 "+"Virtual operating system licenses"»
    I have a Dell PC with Windows XP installed and a CD to reinstall Windows XP. I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and created a virtual machine and install Windows XP on the virtual machine using the CD. Now I need to activate Windows XP on the virtual machine. I guess I only have this copy of XP is installed on one physical machine, and the virtual machine is on the same machine that I have the right to install and activate the copy of Windows XP on the vritual machine. Is this correct?
    I have not activated the operating system on the virtual machine in case I am not allowed to activate it and attempts to activate it cause problems.
    Another reason, that I have not activated the operating system is because I have installed antivirus software on the virtual machine and I am reluctant to connect to internet with it until I have, or know whehter I need. Outside the activation of XP I won't need internet access on the virtual machine. Is this enough to antivirus on the host computer in order to prevent the infection from the virtual machine?
