Windows Forum / Virtual PC / September 2007VPC performance issues
I created an XP using VPC 2007 on my Vista host PC (2GB RAM). Things went well, and I can even run VS 2005 on the XP VPC. Only that the performance is not that good, taking lots of time just to load the VS 2005 project. Is there any document/parameters regarding hardware/memory requirements/settings for VPC performance in relation to the host? Thanks a million Bill so wait a minute you are running a vitualpc in a virtual pc? no wander it's slow.

No he isn't - he just hasn't installed the Additions, by the sound of it... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net You need to install the VPC Additions. Action menu for the VM, "Install or update Virtual Machine Additions."

I had already installed VM Additions. Still need to know how the VPC is using the resource from the host. For example, if I add more RAM to the host, would it improve the VPC's performance Thanks Bill > You need to install the VPC Additions.

I didn't see any prompt regarding this while creating the VPC. Another issue I found is that it takes forever to copy something from a network folder (I mapped a drive letter to the folder). Is it by design or because of improper configuration?

I didn't see any prompt regarding this > while creating the VPC. Yep, it's part of the virtual machine wizard. If you want to alter the amount of RAM your virtual machine will use after you've created it, just make sure it's not running, select it (but don't start it!) in the VPC console and then click Settings... Remember, though, that the more RAM you assign to a virtual machine, the less RAM will be available to the host when that virtual machine is running...
