Installed VPC and created a VM... my first one!
Now want to install win server 2003. The VPC help for installing the OS
states either map to the host CD (if you have a bootable/install CD) ... how
does one do that ?

Is it me or is the Internet useless with browsers older than Internet
Explorer 5.5? Most websites load terribly in say Internet Explorer 4 or
freeze the system. I understand older browsers don't support new
technologies but I have this with many websites. Only the simple ones ...

I am a Web Developer and would like to be able to test my sites on both
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0. Somebody in one of the
microsoft.public newsgroups suggested that I use Microsoft Virtual PC to do
this. However, after looking at several of the links on

I was wondering if there is a way to make Virtual PC support the VESA
BIOS Extensions.  It doesn't seem to work with them now.
Thank you.

If we load vista on all of our helpdesk pc's can we load xp as a guest os in
virtual pc 2004 running on vista so that our helpdesk personel can refer back
to xp for the clients that have not upgraded to vista?

Has anyone run into trouble having Virtual PC recognize an Intel 3945 abg
mini-pci chip? I do not see the adapter showing up in the Networking options.

Does anybody know of a good (perferrably free) disk defragmenter program that
will do "free space consolidation"?

dynamically size disk.  The good-ole windows defrag program just defrags

I have an XP Home virtual machine with two vhd drives. 'Undo disks' is
enabled.
Is it possible to configure the VM so that the vud file associated with
one drive is always committed (without having to confirm), while the

Win98 VM cant see my TDK Velo CD Burner. I tried to install the firmware but
it says the drive is not connected. It shows as  then name as MS cd rom in
device manager. I cant install anything on the VM without the CD ROM.
Need help on this.

I can't get the VPC software to run on my new Power Book Pro - it goes
through what it says is a successful install, and then just dies?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I installed Windows XP on my virtual PC with my DVD Drive. I then wanted to
upgrade Windows XP to Vista RC1, but the virtual PC won't recognize DVD's it
only recognizes CD's.

I have a friend who wants to set up a webserver using the Internet
connection at his company. The idea is to use a left-over IP address
for this new site.
One idea that came up was to host the webserver in a VPC2004 virtual

Is there a way to enable USB support in VPC 2007?  I don't even have it as an
option.  Thanks.
Main OS: WXP x64 SP1
VPC OS: WXP MCE SP2

so far it will load fine but if someone tries to remote desktop, the mouse
does not work within the virtual image instance, only outside of it. It works
ok on the workstation in which it has been installed however....hmmm....

I'm fairly new to this Virtual PC business, but everywhere I've looked the CD
drive, whether physical or virtual (using an iso) has been referred to as D.
So I've been struggling to comprehend for the last few hours why it wouldn't
pick up anything.
