| 773052 | 2009-05-11 06:46:00 | if anyones having problems getting this to work - you have to download This KB first (www.microsoft.com) - then the install the Virtual Machine (www.microsoft.com) -- Then it works (www.imagef1.net.nz) :banana | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 773053 | 2009-05-11 06:51:00 | Yep, and then installed apps on the VM should magically appear in the start menu:) The perfomance is not what I expected for a virtual machine, quite suprising actually. How are your experiences with it so far? Blam |

How are your experiences with it so far? Blam Picture Woth a thousand words (www.imagef1.net.nz) :lol: -- But its FAST - its a hell of a lot better than the other VM MS have, Mind you this thing should be able to handle it fine. One thing I like is you can jump between VM and the 'real" desktop - meaning others I have used the cursor was trapped in the VM and you had to do certain key strokes to get out of it. - Hated that - and full screen is a LOT better as well. Much improved over the Other VM's. If a PC wont run it then the CPU as mentioned in other posts may not support it - Links to software (www.microsoft.com) that will test your CPU - Intel & AMD So far - Liking it :thumbs: |

Wonder if you can get XP Modem VM to work in VirtualBox...;) Blam |

| 773056 | 2009-05-11 07:21:00 | I wonder if it'll actually work without virtualisation. :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 773057 | 2009-05-11 08:12:00 | No, it is virtual PC and it is virtualising a CPU...:p | Blam (54) | ||
| 773058 | 2009-05-11 09:24:00 | But I'm currently using Virtual PC 2007 without virtualisation. :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 773059 | 2009-05-11 09:34:00 | That doesn't make sense.....MS says the processor must support Intel VT or AMD-V technology: www.microsoft.com :illogical Blam |

| 773060 | 2009-05-11 09:57:00 | That's for Windows 7's version though. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 773061 | 2009-05-11 10:05:00 | Indeed! www.microsoft.com Seems it works on most processors, even those without Virtualisation technologies....how does that work?:p EDIT:After studying Wikipedia for a while it seems that hardware virtualisation makes performance better, but is not necessarily needed...? Don't quote me on this:p Blam |
