Hi all, I just recently performed a fresh install of Windows 7 RTM 64 bit, which so far I'm lovin it. I was running Vista Ultimate and can seen a big difference. The problem I was having is getting Virtual PC to work. You have to have a processor that supports hardware-assisted virtualization, which I found out I don't. I have a Pentium dual core 2.20 Ghz., 4 gigs of memory. I tried installing the older version of Virtual PC which is not supported. It's not really that big of a deal, because I'm using VMware workstation now, but I prefer Virtual PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm afraid there won't be many suggestions to get Windows Virtual PC working on your computer. Fact is, you don't have the right processor. VMware & VirtualBox are good substitutes.
To be honest, VMware has more functionality than Windows Virtual PC anyway......although XP mode is very good

Try Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 instead. It won't integrate XP windows with the 7 windows like XP Mode does, but you will be able to virtualize another Windows OS without hardware-supported virtualization. I've tried it on my laptop that has an older chip and have successfully virtualized XP, Vista, and 7 inside of 7. Let me know if you need some help, but if you search it in Bing you should find it.

I DL'ed Virtual PC SP1 like you suggested, and it worked! Thanks!

Also thanks rsvr85 for the link, something to increase the knowledge base.

I found this also on wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization, processors that support hardware virtualization.

Glad it helped, thanks for that list of supported processors. Virtualize away!

thnx
