• Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

  I just bought a new PC Pro WIN 7 with the ability to run WIN XP in a virtual machine.  It told me I have to go on a MS site and follow the instructions to validate that the installation was valid. Then I was told to download the 3 following programs without any explanation as to what they were.  The programs are:

  windowsXPMode_N_en - us.exe

  windowsXPMode_en - us.exe

  GenuineCheck.exe

  So I downloaded them.  GenuineCheck.exe I wanted to save a password in the Clipboard to use in step 2.  I couldn't go to step 2.

  I installed windowsXPMode_en - us.exe.  I can now run a virtual XP in WINDOWS 7 PC.

  I have not (yet?) installed to windowsXPMode_N_en - us.exe.  I don't know if I have to, anyone know?

  Currently, I can open the Virtual PC in XP mode.  I transferred only a set of 32-bit up to now to see if it will work.  To do this, sort of.  Kind of means that the game works, but it is gross or difficult to read data, the colors and the resolution is bad.  On the side of WIN 7, colors and resolution are very good.  What the first step before installing Visual Basic 6.

  In addition, while I have an anti demo virus installed by the supplier of the computer, it doesn't seem to work in Virtual PC.  Is this a matter of concern, or am I protected by WIN 7?

  Thank you

• Don't port look for a printer in windows xp mode and virtual PC

  Have an older Calcomp plotter.  Used with Win xp.  The drivers are not compatible with windows 7 (64).  Upgrade to Win 7 Professional, downloaded xp mode and virtual PC.  All right.  Installed my plotter in xp Mode, but can't seem to find the plotter to printer usb port is connected to.  Knowledge tracer works because as I tried different ports, the test print on my HP printer that is set up a home network.  Reading the different instructions, but they are above my head.   Have HP touchsmart w / three usb ports on the back.  One of these ports to connect printer.  I think I need to make a set to the top of USB devices in xp mode, but do not understand what I have to do.  Anyone using xp mode and windows virtual PC with windows 7 that can simply explain it would be appreciated greatly.

• You can install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP with Windows 7 Home Premium Mode?

  Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode.

  I'm currently under Vista Premium and just-ordered Windows 7 Premium.  I noticed that Microsoft offers only the XP Mode in their professional, Ultimate and Enterprise versions. Once I've upgraded to Windows7 I will be able to download and install Virtual PC and XP mode and make it work in my Premium version manually?  Yes my AMD BIOS supports.  Thank you!

  Only, you would have the same problems with 32-bit software in a 64 bit environment where it may or may not work as the others. XP mode is reserved for people who have a software who refuse, for some reason, to upgrade and that run only under Windows XP. But if you consider that Windows XP was introduced in 2001 and it is now 2009 and 1 other OS released and another is about to release... it's time to upgrade. Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

• Managed to install XP Mode but cannot find "Windows XP Mode" in the folder "Windows Virtual PC" and also cannot find any file with the extension of the vmc

  Dear friends,

  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

  I'm really happy with the answers given on this subject, but after the installation of "WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe" and "Windows6. 1 - KB958559 - x 64 - RefreshPkg.msu ".
  installation went well but I can't find any file on my computer with vpc extension, and I don't see the Windows XP Mode folder in Program Files.
  When I try to reinstall, I get the message that it has already been installed.  In folder options, I enabled see all files including system files.
  Thank you!

  Thank you very much!!!

  After I posted the question (and struggled with the issue for a while),
  I decided to uninstall Virtual PC and XP Mode, and then when I reinstalled
  them everything was fine.
  In any case thanks for the elaborate and useful response which I'm sure
  others will benefit from it.

• 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 / Windows virtual PC

  I have to support some programs LV7.1 (and newer versions).  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit edition.  LV7.1 loads and runs, but the drivers disk pours on the 64-bit operating system.  (This was not unexpected...)

  The new PC he has an Intel processor supporting Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode.

  I need to upgrade to W7 Pro, but before I do, I want to get some feelings that it will work.  If older NIDaq, MAX, etc. Install OK in XP mode?  If someone has done this?  Is there another solution which is better?

  Hi John,.

  NOR-traditional DAQ won't work on Windows 7 64-bit at all, even if you install the (very limited) driver beta OR - traditional DAQ 7.5.   I do not work with LabVIEW license much (data acquisition is my spring) but I understand that you can have different versions on different computers.  If this is the case, you must use OR-DAQmx 9.0.2 with LabVIEWs 8.2.1 and 8.5.1 8.6.1.  NOR-DAQmx 9.0.2 is the first version 'officially' supported on Windows 7, both 32 - and 64-bit.  As long as you use a 32-bit version of LabVIEW (which, if you're not using LabVIEW 2009, it will be inherently 32-bit) you binaries will work fine.

  Note: When I say "as long as you use a 32-bit version of LabVIEW' I do not mean a version that does not work on a 64 bit OS.  This section of the knowledge base, LabVIEW 64-bit vs 32-Bit Applications FAQ, explained part of the difference.  The main thing to keep in mind is that because Windows Vista and Windows 7 can emulate 32-bit programs to 64-bit well enough, you can still use a version of LabVIEW which is only 32-bit on a 64-bit computer.

  I don't know the number of tests we did install older versions of LabVIEW as 8.2.1 on Windows 7, but I guess it should work fine.  I would recommend this install it:

  1. LabVIEW 8.2.1
  2. LabVIEW 8.5.1
  3. LabVIEW 8.6.1
  4. Boxes to tools or modules of the foregoing
  5. NOR-DAQmx 9.0.2

  I hope this helps!

• Windows Virtual PC will allow me to use Office 2007 and Office 2002/2003 on the same PC without problems?

  I have Windows 7 Enterprise (32 bit) installed with Office 2007. New machine. However, I am a trainer/support specialist and many of my clients have XP Microsoft Office 2002/2003, and I need to provide support. It would be much easier if I had XP and Office 2002/2003, but I know that Microsoft does not recommend the 2 versions on 1 PC. Windows Virtual PC is the solution?

  Yes, that might work.  You can install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, and then install Office 2002/2003 in the Virtual PC in Windows XP.  You can then run the Office 2002/2003 programs in Virtual PC, or close the Virtual PC and run them in Windows 7 from all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode Applications .  You can even have Office 2007 programs and 2002/2003 open at the same time in Windows 7.

• Successfully installed XP Mode, but is not "Windows XP Mode" in the folder "Windows Virtual PC"...

  Successfully, I installed XP Mode and the VPC and ran the first time very well. I installed a few programs and quit smoking. Now, I have a Windows Virtual PC folder in my Start menu. It has shortcuts to launch the programs that I have already installed and they work fine, but there is no way to start XP Mode in its own window that it was when I ran, so I can not install anything else.

  All the info I've found say to select Start-> all programs-> Windows Virtual PC-> Windows XP Mode. However, in the installation of this entry is not. The only thing there is another folder containing the apps I had installed the first time.

  Please offer suggestions for the restoration of the facility.

  Thank you.

• Windows Virtual PC integrated with components lock me out of my WinXP - error of OEM comments - "the system could not log. Make sure that your user name and domain are correct... »

  With my new desktop Windows 7 hardware configuration, I decided (before you consider VMware Player) to retry Windows Virtual PC; but instead of using Windows XP Mode (which is useless because the disk is inaccessible), I decided to use my own Windows XP Pro OEM. [I use it for games that won't play on Win7.  Security issues are also irrelevant, because for these games, I'm not likely to use the Web.  Of course, I always Windows Security Essentials in my OEM customers.]

  The problem here is, whenever I have to Activate my integration, features VPC opens as if the Windows XP Mode have been installed (it is not); and when the screen is turned on, it asks my user name and password.  I tried to use the name and the password that I entered when installing my XP OEM; but I get this message:

  "The system could not log.  Make sure that your user name and domain are correct.  Type your password again.  Letters in passwords must be entered using the proper case. »

  How is it that I can't access my Windows XP OEM guest when the integration features are enabled?  Only when they are disabled can I activate my OS; invited but it's counterproductive, because I won't be able to move items from my host in my comments.  Once more, if I should decide to use VPC as my host VM for Linux Ubuntu/Kubuntu, what chance is there that the activation of the integration features will lock out me my Linux guest?

  Another thing: in the Start Menu under Windows Virtual PC folder I have shortcuts for ' Windows Virtual PC ' or 'Virtual Machines' (according to the Win7 version I use, 32-bit or 64-bit); but I also have "Windows XP Mode", I have not installed.  How is that possible?  I checked the shortcut, and point it to rundll32.exe.  Should I just get rid of the shortcut, or I will incur damage to my VPC if I do?

• 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.

• I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

  As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

  I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
  -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
  -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
  -Select Windows Virtual PC
  -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
  -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
  -Select share >
  -Select the homegroup (read/write)

  -Minimized open Virtual PC
  -Select my computer
  Windows 7 disks will be under other

  I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

• Compatibility Mode and the XP Mode in Windows 7

  I got a little confused on the Compatibility Mode with XP Mode in Windows 7. Both allow you to legacy Windows run in Windows 7. As far as I know, the former just request that you go to your legacy application that is already installed in Windows 7, get his property and check the box Compatibility Mode and select your old Windows OS (Windows XP, SP2) - that seems without any requirement of additional beyond your Windows 7 operating system HW/SW; But this last request additional 1 GB of RAM and also installation PC Virture Mode before you can run XP Mode. Are the two modes of the same thing or different? It seems that Compatibility Mode is to each legacy Windows application, so no additional HW/SW and XP Mode is environmental BONES together. Is this fair? Appreciate if anyone can clerify this.

  Hello

  No, they are not the same.

  Compatibility mode allows you to run software simply, as say you, selecting Properties and then compare the compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system to run this application. As you say 'no additional SW/HW prescription.'

  XP Mode is, of all intent and purpose, a virtual machine mode. You must first install Virtual PC software and then, after you have created a machine virtual, you install your software and it works as if it is running on a separate computer - hence the need for a 1 GB of additional RAM. The 1 GB of RAM is allocated to the virtual machine. If you say 4 GB of RAM then your PC would use / 3GB and your 'virtual' PC would use the other 1 GB.

  It is also interesting to note that your PC has also therefore support XP Mode, if it isn't then XP Mode cannot be installed.  John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Expert associated with: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;

• Antivirus and Windows Virtual PC software

  I have Norton antivirus software on my computer.  This software will also protect my Windows Virtual PC and anything that I have run in Windows XP Mode?

  Hi Jen,

  Use a free AV and Norton in the normal environment in the virtual environment. Waste of money to use a paid license twice on the same machine.
  Try Avira or Microsoft Security Essentials .
