I recently installed a Windows XP version in a virtual machine, but am
unable to disable the screen saver.  Both the drop down for the choices of
screen savers as well as the Wait and On resume, password protect are all

capability?  I need to be able to communicate ...

I understand that you need to click Right Alt+Enter.  However, I wish there
was a one click solution.  What would be really cool is to have a floating

I am interested in using Virtual PC as a platform to replace my pilot-test
network setup for Microsoft A/D and Exchange. I have 2 DC's(Win2K), one

I am using a DSL Modem to connect to the internet...It is a single port modem.
The modem's IP address is 192.168.2.1

192.168.2.1

My guess is not, but just want to be sure.

I am running VPC 2004 trial version with VM additions
- host = W2K prof. SP4, guest = W2K server SP4
- pc = athlon XP1800, 1GB ram - (have tried 400-700MB assigned to guest)
