| 729285 | 2008-12-15 07:03:00 | That can load 64 bit isos? Virtual PC is pretty hopeless. Even tho there's a 64 bit version of it, there's no option to use x64 in it :lol: I've just slipstreamed XP Pro x64 and its updates, with Nlite. I just want to test it with something like Virtual PC, to see if its OK. Before I install it |

| 729287 | 2008-12-15 07:23:00 | Thats cool, it is a 64 bit system. I had to install X Pro x64, on a 64 bit system . Since Nlite wont let you slipstream 64 bit updates on a 32 bit system Thats why I thought Virtual PC would work. Since the file I installed was the 64 bit version Bloody hell, its big enough isnt it lol. Lucky, I'm on broadband, I'll be here for the next week |

| 729288 | 2008-12-15 07:47:00 | if you still need a VM - One I came across the otehr day in the APC mag is Virtual Box (www.virtualbox.org) - just looked and they have a 64Bit - AMD only though. Around 36MB | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 729289 | 2008-12-15 07:49:00 | Try Qemu or VirtualBox (Which AFAIK is just a nice Qemu front-end) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 729290 | 2008-12-15 07:55:00 | It's AMD WT, the 754 at the mo. I would put x64 on this, BUT then Itunes (unless you edit the install file wont work - It wont burn, altho I dont use the burn / rip option anyway), the tuner, this Bluetooth dongle wont work (no XP Pro x64 drivers) The version I install (x32/x64), may not be the prob, it needs to load 64 bit OS ISO's tho, which Virtual PC doesnt do I may as well get VMWare now lol 5 mins to go (which is amazing, its usually not this fast at this time of the night) I'll get Virtualbox as well |

| 729291 | 2008-12-15 08:26:00 | If you get a chance, post back your findings with VirtualBox. Last time I checked, the x64 guests didn't seem well supported (or a lot more involved to setup and run as opposed to vmware). |

| 729292 | 2008-12-15 08:30:00 | I will when it decides to download. Im getting it at 16.4k lol whoopee I could go to the pub and come back, and it'll still be going It looks like the bloody thing has gone to sleep. It just said the source cant be read. So its either disappeared / stuffed or dead (the link) It'll have to wait till tomorrow its too slow |

| 729293 | 2008-12-15 08:47:00 | Well that was a total waste of 580 mb lol. An error appeared in event viewer saying Server.msi is not permitted due to an error in software restriction policies processing. The object can not be trusted :lol: wtf Then a window appears saying the system admin has set policies to prevent this install. Yer right, well it wasnt me Now I have to find out what the hell that means |

| 729294 | 2008-12-15 09:10:00 | Well figured out how to install it, but buggered if I know what youre meant to do with it :lol: I want something simple, not a degree to figure out what it is, or what to do with it Think I'll get virtualbox, when and if it decides to download |
