  • 1. Explorer.exe crashes in WIndowsXP SP2 VM's
    In both VPC 2004 and 2007, my WindowsXP VM's are crashing, the vast majority of the time when i am access Shared folders. I get a crash in Explorer.exe, often followed by Dr. Watson. The host PC is running WindowsXP SP2, as are the VM's. I saw a post about changing the folder views but that did not help. Anyone else getting this? It's frustrating. Thanks.

  • 4. Virtual PC 2007 - Performance Options
    Hi, I have been using VPC 2004 for a while and recently switched to VPC 2007 with Vista 64Bit. General performance appears better and I have think I have all the relevant options set to give VPC as many processor cycles as possible. Hardware Virtualization - enabled Run Virtual PC at Maximum Speeed Allocate more CPU time to the virutal machine in the active window The problem is the processor that VPC is running on never breaks above 75%. Inside the VM session the CPU shows 100% utilization - that is 25% host power not being utilized. I would like to be able to tell VPC to use up to 100% of the host processor. I have multiple cores so dedicating VPC to the whole of one core is not an issue. Naturally in the future (fairly soon) everyone wants VPC to have the option of accessing multiple cores. Does anyone know an option to get VPC 2007 to use a higher percentage of Host processor cycles. Thanks in advance

Cannot install VPC SP1

When trying to install SP1 for VPC, it does not work.
Trys and always fails with the message that the installer was interrupted.
I have uninstalled and re-installed VPC countless times.
Host OS is XP Pro SP2, but have also tried from SP1.

Any suggestions?

I used the following sequence on XP SP1 - you could try this:

1. Install VPC
2. Reboot
3. Do NOT run the INSTALL.BAT to add the network driver
4. Install VPC SP1
5. Reboot

I found that there was no need to run INSTALL.BAT this time as the driver 
was already loaded.

Give that a whirl and see if it does the trick, by the way do not run any 
other programs while doing the install.
