When Virtual PC 2004 was installed on Windows Vista Premium the warning message below was shown:
Nonetheless, Virtual PC installed successfully and was able to create Virtual images using the 2004 version. After completing installation, below is what happened upon running the created hard drives:
As you can see, the virtual image is already running Windows XP on the VPC console; however, the real VPC did not display the operating system correctly and showed blank display.
To solve this problem, uninstall Virtual PC 2004 and install Virtual PC 2007. The images does not need conversion and can directly be added using the 2007 version. After these steps, virtual images would run without any problems.
Windows Vista is the slowest system I have ever operated, Including DOS
I am sendiing back my new computer in the morning. I can get used to a new system, but it takes over a minute to close down a windows program,,,,,,sucks
What is your hardware specs?
Windows Vista shoudl require a minimum of 2GB RAM. Or yes it will be a slow beast. But I have foudn that with at least 2GB of RAM Vista is a great OS – smooth, quick, and reliable.
