VirtualBox Guest Additions give your virtual machine better mouse pointer integration, the use of shared files between the host and the client, better video support, shared clipboards, and a host of other handy tools. The final setup is for the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO. Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO

Use the Recommended security settings, choose your time zone, and continue. If you do not have a Windows 7 product key now, you can skip this page, but your Windows 7 virtual machine will have limited functionality. If you already input your product key and downloaded Windows 7 direct from Microsoft, you might not encounter this page. Next up is to input your Windows 7 product key. Do not touch a key when prompted or you will return to the Install Now option, rather than letting the installer do its thing.Įventually, you will arrive at the Windows 7 Username set up, followed by the password creation page.

and to access my data inside the virtual pc, i would have to reinstall xp probably.Windows 7 will restart a few times during the installation process. If I hover over the icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar, it says 'remote. There's also a 'Virtual PC Application Launcher' that you might see. You can see the Virtual PC Host Process in the task manager. Now that is really bad! I can run my virtual machine on the old Windows XP, but I cannot run it on the new Windows 7, I just updated to? :-( Why can't I simply run the old Virtual PC 2007 and run my Windows XP like before? That's really a bit annoying!. It looks like Windows XP (notice the Crayola Colors) but the Windows 7 Task Manager is running over the top of it. (That is right, I tested it with Intel's CPU info tool.) And the old Virtual PC 2007 does not run on Windows 7. But on Windows 7, I cannot run my virtual machine, because the new Virtual PC of Windows 7 tells me, that my CPU does not support Hardware Virtualization. On my old Windows XP, it was no problem to run that Virtual Windows XP machine (using Virtual PC 2007). Now I wanted to install Virtual PC to run another virtual Windows XP machine.

I just installed Windows 7 and it's running good (was using windows XP before). If there's a more appropriate category/forum, please move my post there, thx. Hello, First: sorry if my post does not really fit into this category, I didn't find a better one.
