Virtual Pc Doesn't Allwo 64 Bits
Dec 23, 2007
I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit and I was wondering what virtualisation software is there that will run on this so I can install other OSes to get some applications to work that will not run on Vista. These applications are only some very old games I like all I really need installed is Windows 98SE and Windows XP but I may use it to try out other operating systems as well.
I know of Virtual PC but it doesn't allow 64bit guest operating systems which at the moment isn't a problem but I may want to install one in the future, I don't really like the interface of VMWare and I tried Parallels but it gave an error that it won't install on a 64bit operating system. I was just wondering what others are there that people know of?

How do you edit a virtual pc hard drive image so that you can add files onto. So that if you have say MS-DOS 7.1 running on virtual pc and want to add SIMCITY 2000 to its virtual hardrive. Then you could run SIMCITY 2000 from dos on windows vista. And once simcity 2000 is added to the virtual hardrive how do I execute SC2000.exe from dos or dos shell.

Am I correct in assuming that, for Windows ME to run in a Virtual PC 2007 window, the Windows ME virtual disk must be located inside a disk partition that is FAT32? On a test run, I tried to install WinME on a virtual disk in a folder that was in my normal Vista partition (NTFS), and it didn't get far. I tried placing the WinME virtual disk inside an FAT32 partition, and although I didn't finish the installation process, I got that far, with the WinME instalation screen having popped up and ready for installation. One other thing: Is it possible to place the WinME virtual disk inside a logical FAT32 partition? Or must it be a primary partition?

I have a problem with BITS that is preventing Windows Update from working
correctly, simply put the service does not start.
I have found that in SFC /SCANNOW it tries to fix bitsigd.dll but for some
reasons it can not do it, I also tried to copy the file from a functioning
computer but it can not be copied on the trouble computer.

1 : where do I get the software. I have a genuine 32 bits.
2 : how could i backup my whole system ?
3 : is there a free upgrade (or discount) for Windows 7

When I boot my computer with Vista 64 , I always get a blue screen with the
following error message :
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If the screen appears again, follow these steps :
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driveris identified in
the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
drivers updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updated. Disable BIOS memory
options such as catching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to
remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select
Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Thecnical informations:
*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFFA600117F603,
0xFFFFFA6002D84ED8, 0xFFFFFA6002D848B0)

Same thing with Windows 7. But, with Vista 32 bits DVD, no problem. I
suspect my DVD burner to be the problem, since it make the hell of a noise
at the startup with Vista 64 an Windows 7 DVD's.
Thank you.

I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:.........

I am running Vista 32bit with 4gigs of ram, AMD Phenom 9950, just put in an ATI 4870X2 with 8.11 drivers. I have two hard drives, one 250gb with the OS and FS9 and FSX on it and another 500gb with really nothing on it. I have my virtual memory set up as follows:
C: and D: drive set to system managed. Should I set the custom size and to what intial and max size?
Im leaning towards the 4870x2 card the cause of the memory leak not sure if it is a driver issue, might install the 5.8 version and see what happens. Also, plan on moving FS9 and FSX to the bigger drive.

I recently built a new computer and installed Vista Ultimate. I plan on installing XP Pro as a virtual OS. I'm new to this and was wondering how much HD space to allocate for this install. Do you allow space just for the OS or for added programs as well? Also, if I understand correctly, both OS's actually run at the same time. Does this create a problem with resources, or can you put one OS in down mode while using the other? I have a quad core Q6600 and 4 GB of RAM. Hard drive is WD 500 GB.

I just installed SP1 from technet recently, and decided to try my hand at virtualization for the first time today. Once Virtual PC 2007 is installed, my system BSoDs during every boot. The only way to gain access to windows is safe mode, or using the last known good state.
After using last known good state, VPC 2007 is installed, but won't work (as the drivers/services have been removed during install). I've uninstalled the remainder of VPC 2007 and rebooted; no problems. Tried again to installed VPC, and after reboot it once again BSoDs endlessly. So it stems the error is recreatable (at least on my machine).

This is my first post in this forum, but I was just wondering if any of you had experience with virtual memory in Vista x64 and the page file when you have a large amount of RAM. I recently just build a machine which has 12gb of RAM. I am begginning to think that this was a waste of money, because no matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the ram useage to exceed 30 percent, or roughly 4gb of ram. I am a computer science major and completely understand how virtual memory works and what paging is; however, I was always taught that if the OS (Vista in this case) will only swap memory when the memory is full, but this has not been the case as I know that Vista is paging some of the memory onto the disk even though it has another 8gb of free memory to use.
I was just wondering what your thoughts were on disabling paging in Vista and if any of you have experience with doing so when you have a system with a large amount of memory. Also, I would love to hear anybody's explaination as to why Vista is paging the memory onto the HDD when in fact it's not neccessary in my case. Perhaps I do not understand it correctly? I am currently on a different computer, but tommorow I will disable the paging in Vista to see what kind of performance difference I experience, if any and post what I find.

I just ordered my new computer parts from newegg (I'm building a whole rig) and so I thought this would be a good time to try vista x64. I'm currently using Ubuntu (Linux distro) and one thing I constantly use is the virtual desktop. I've searched around and I found a few of them for XP and Vista but I want one that is optimized for 64bit since I'll be use it a lot / run it all the time. Does anyone use a VDM that works well for vista x64?

Is there a software that allows me to create a virtual desktop larger than my monitor's resolution? Some people called it scrolling desktop? I have a nvidia GeForce FX5700 ultra and am running vista. The reason for this is to capture higher resolution out put from mapping software or website, which displays higher resolution map on higher resolution desktop.

I have two windows xp computers behind a linksys router. I would like to be able to access one of these computers from a vista computer while on the road. I am looking to purchase a linksys/cisco vpn router BEFSX41 and getting a static ip address. How do I go about this? Do I need specialized software in addition or can this be accomplished without a lot of hassle?

I have a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista Home + SP1. It came with just a C drive. I decided to create a second D drive so that the operational side would be on C drive and data would be on D drive. The intention was to create a situation where, if I had to use the recovery disk, it could just replace C drive with the factory settings, while leaving data in place on D. But now I want to remove the separate drive D and restore the space to drive C. I have backed up everything in drive D to external media. However, whatever I do, I cannot find a way to simply dump drive D and have the space reallocated to drive C. THe system will let me create additonal drives, and shrink drives, but not just reallocate them to C drive. Of course, if all else fails, I can restore all my data to drive D, but for reasons associated with the use of an iPod I want the maximum space available in C drive to cope with this. But I can find no way to do this.
